Cơ Chế Tác Dụng : ATL1102 is a second-generation antisense inhibitor of CD49d, an immunesystem protein known as VLA-4, an immune cell molecule. It works by entering cells and targeting genes. With Multiple Sclerosis, excessive amounts of VLA-4 are believed to mediate the inappropriate migration of lymphocytes into the central nervous system, contributing to the pathogenesis of the disease. The inhibition of VLA-4 may prevent white blood cells from entering sites of inflammation, thereby halting progression of the disease. The mechanism of action of ATL1102 in blocking VLA-4 isdifferent to other drugs in development that target this same protein,including the monoclonal antibody Tysabri(R).
Chỉ Định : Investigated for use/treatment in asthma and multiple sclerosis.
