- Summary
6CNS Therapeutic Markets are Huge
- 13.3-16.1 million individuals in the US are
afflicted with CNS disorders 1.2 million more
diagnosed in US each year - Alzheimers Disease, Parkinsons Disease,
Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS) markets collectively estimated at
30-50B WW, growing at 14 annually - Medical Community is unprepared for the growing
wave of unmet medical need and social costs
associated with these diseases second
therapeutic wave for baby boomers
7CNS Therapeutic Markets are Large and Growing
- CNS disorders currently cost the US economy over
600 billion dollars annually in supportive care. - Any effective treatment or cure that can reduce
the rapidly growing financial burden of
neurodegenerative disorders and assist the
elderly in maintaining independent living
arrangements will be a major revenue producer for
its developers and distributors.
AdvanceTechnology Monitors Novel Approaches to
Neurodegenerative Disorders.
8Many CNS Therapies are Stalled in
ClinicalDevelopment
- The clinical failure of many potential CNS
therapeutics is not due to a lack of drug
potency, but rather to lack of an effective CNS
delivery system.
"There was a great deal of hope for GDNF and
there still is a great deal of interest in
finding different ways to provide it to the
brain. Dr. Anthony Lang, Director of the
Movement Disorders Center at Toronto Western
Hospital in Canada.
By 2007, drug delivery will account for 39 of
all pharmaceutical sales John Waslif, analyst
with UK research firm, Visiongain
9Science Vision
- To employ the tissue targeting potential of a
class of receptor chaperone proteins, represented
by Receptor-Associated Protein, RAP as - NeuroTransTM - Targeted delivery of
therapeutics to the brain and other tissues - AmpTideTM and HepTideTM -First in class
targeted cancer therapeutics -
10Receptor-Associated Protein (RAP)
- RAP has a normal function in receptor
biosynthesis for lipoprotein receptor synthesis
- Binds to lipoprotein receptors on cell surfaces
- Lipoprotein receptors are the therapeutic targets
for RAP
11RAP Receptors are Found in Most Tissues
- Examples of lipoprotein
- receptors in contact
- with blood
LRP 1 LRP2, Megalin VLDLR LRP5/6
