Novel Small Molecules with Neuroprotective Potential in ALS and Related Neurodegenerative Diseases
This invention is a series of novel small molecule compounds developed at the University of Arizona that may be used in the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), particularly in treating the locomotor dysfunction associated with the disease. The compounds have a neuroprotective effect in that they prevent the aggregation of TDP-43, a neurotoxic...
