    • MP 101:
    • Huntington’s Disease

    Huntington Disease

    • Neurodegenerative disorder resulting in chorea, eventual dementia and premature death. Genetic mutation in huntingtin gene, a “tri-nucleotide repeat expansion disorder” of CAG (glutamine).
    • Transgenic mouse, N171-82Q, expressing a cDNA encoding the N-terminal fragment of a 171 amino acids of the huntingtin gene with 82 glutamine repeats.
    • Similar to humans, these transgenic mice have the “premanifest” stage prior to showing movement disorders, striatum, intranuclear inclusion / neuritic aggregates and premature death.
    • HD mice were treated ~ 17-weeks with MP101 by daily oral gavage.

    OUR DATA SHOWS:
    MP101 Preserves Brain Volume, Medium Spiny Neurons and General Neurons.
    MP101 Preserves Movement.
    MP101 Significantly Protects from Reactive Oxygen Species in the Cortex.

    MP101 Improves Motor Function in a N171-82Q HD Mouse of Huntingon's Disease at Age 26W with 17W Treatment.

    The values are the mean and SEM. One-way ANOVA tests were used. n=14-16. *p<0.005 versus the WT Placebo group; #p<0.005 versus the HD Placebo group.

    MP101 attenuates brain atrophy (at 26 weeks of age) in N171-82 HD mice.

    Wildtype (WT) with normal cortex (Ctx) and Striatum (Str). HD placebo (HD) shows loss in both Ctx and Str. MP-101 shows minor loss in Ctx and Str.

    MP101 Significantly Reduces Oxidative Stress in Cortex of HD Mouse Model.

    MP101 significantly lowers Isoprostanes, a biomarker of Oxidative stress/free radicals production, in HD mice to Equivalent levels in the cortex of Wildtype.

    MP201 Neuroprotection.

    • MP201 prevents RGC loss during experimental optic neuritis.
      1. Reduces demyelination without suppressing inflammation.
        Preserves visual function. (Optokinetic Responses)

    • Known effects on mitochondria and oxidative stress suggest common mechanism of neuroprotection.
