About Alterity Therapeutics Limited
Alterity's lead candidate, PBT434,
is the first of a new generation of small molecules designed to inhibit the aggregation of pathological proteins implicated in
neurodegeneration. PBT434 has been shown to reduce abnormal accumulation of -synuclein and tau proteins in animal models
of disease by restoring normal iron balance in the brain. In this way, it has excellent potential to treat various forms of atypical
Parkinsonism such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
