Our Innovation

Novel L-Dopa small molecular weight derivatives (“SuperDopa” molecules – SD1, SD2) designed to protect dopaminergic neurons from cell death concomitantly with a slow-release replenishing of the missing dopamine in the PD brain

Preliminary Results

SuperDopa (SD1) is very effective in reversing the oxidative stress induced by auranofin, an organo-gold compound that inhibits thioredoxin-reductase activity and elevates ROS in the cell

Increasing concentration of SD1 inhibits p38MAPK and ERK1/2 activity acting through the reversal of auranofin oxidizing effects in human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells

SD1 can also cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and protect cognitive impairment following injury
