Product Description
ALZ-801 (ALZ801; BLU-8499; NRM-8499) is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of beta amyloid (Aβ) oligomer formation with the potential for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). ALZ-801 is a prodrug of tramiprosate with improved PK/pharmacokinetic properties and gastrointestinal tolerability.
ALZ-801 (CAS 1034190-08-3) is an orally available, small-molecule anti-amyloid agent in clinical development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is a prodrug of tramiprosate (homotaurine) designed to have improved brain penetration and reduced gastrointestinal side effects. ALZ-801 is a potent inhibitor of amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation, targeting the formation of neurotoxic oligomers and fibrils. The compound binds to soluble Aβ peptides, preventing their self-association into toxic aggregates. This mechanism is thought to reduce amyloid plaque formation and neuroinflammation in the brain. ALZ-801 has been studied in patients with early Alzheimer's disease, including those carrying the APOE4 genotype. The compound is orally administered and has shown a favorable safety profile in clinical trials.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides. ALZ-801 targets soluble Aβ monomers and oligomers, preventing their aggregation into neurotoxic species. The compound binds to Aβ peptides, inhibiting the formation of oligomers and fibrils. This mechanism is distinct from antibody-based therapies that target amyloid plaques. ALZ-801 may also modulate the interaction of Aβ with cellular membranes and reduce neuroinflammation.
ln Vitro
ALZ-801 demonstrates potent inhibition of Aβ aggregation in vitro. The compound binds to soluble Aβ peptides and prevents their self-association into toxic oligomers and fibrils. This has been characterized using various biophysical techniques including thioflavin T fluorescence assays, electron microscopy, and size exclusion chromatography. The compound's ability to inhibit Aβ-induced neurotoxicity has been confirmed in neuronal cell cultures.
ln Vivo
The mean AUCt values of ALZ-801 (Alabama Drug; 172 mg/kg; single dose) were 58, 758, and 5841 ng/mL.h in plasma and brain, respectively. ALZ-801: The ratios of trimiprost in the waist and midbrain of CD-1 mice were 1.8 and 3.1, respectively [1].
In vivo, ALZ-801 has been shown to reduce brain Aβ levels and amyloid plaque formation in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. The compound is orally bioavailable and crosses the blood-brain barrier. In clinical studies, ALZ-801 has demonstrated favorable effects on biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, including reductions in plasma Aβ42 levels and neurofilament light chain. The compound is being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials for early Alzheimer's disease.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for ALZ-801 typically involve thioflavin T fluorescence assays to measure Aβ aggregation kinetics. Aβ peptides are incubated with varying concentrations of ALZ-801, and fluorescence is measured over time. The IC50 for inhibition of Aβ aggregation is determined. Biophysical techniques such as electron microscopy and size exclusion chromatography are used to confirm the inhibition of fibril formation. Neuronal cell cultures are used to assess protection against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for ALZ-801 involve culturing neuronal cells, such as primary cortical neurons or SH-SY5Y cells, and treating them with Aβ peptides in the presence or absence of ALZ-801. Cell viability is measured using MTT or LDH assays. Aβ-induced neurotoxicity and its inhibition by ALZ-801 are assessed. Inflammatory markers such as cytokine levels may also be measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for ALZ-801 have been conducted in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, such as APP/PS1 mice. The compound is typically administered orally. Brain Aβ levels, amyloid plaque burden, and neuroinflammation are assessed. Cognitive function may be evaluated using behavioral tests such as the Morris water maze. Dosing regimens vary depending on the study.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
ALZ-801 is orally bioavailable and crosses the blood-brain barrier. The compound is a prodrug of tramiprosate, with improved pharmacokinetic properties including reduced gastrointestinal side effects. It is administered orally and has shown favorable pharmacokinetics in clinical studies, with dose-proportional exposure and a half-life suitable for once- or twice-daily dosing. The compound is being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
ALZ-801 has shown a favorable safety profile in clinical trials, with no significant safety concerns identified. Common side effects are mild and may include gastrointestinal symptoms, which are less frequent than with tramiprosate. The compound is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Long-term safety data are being collected in ongoing clinical trials.
