Preclinical studies of novel heparan mimetics for prevention and treatment of tse (HMS AS ANTI PRION DRUGS)

Objective

Many lines of evidence connect between heparin like polyamines and anti prison activity. All the known anti-prison polyamines inhibit the binding of Prep to heparin sparse, demonstrating a clear connection between the heparin binding activity of Prep and inhibition of prison replication. In an ongoing grant, we are screening a library of novel dextrin based heparin mimetic (Hams) for their in-vitro anti prison activity, and testing the best ones for their in-vivo anti prison activity. We have accomplished a considerable part of the proposed objectives and, most important; have identified a very active compound, which is being tested in-vivo with promising preliminary results. We have also started to delineate there anti prison mechanism. Encourage by these promising results, we now apply for a continuation project in which we hope to
(I) bring the most efficient 'lead' Hams to pre-development stages and
(ii) prepare a pre-clinical filing.
