Title:
INHIBITORS OF PDE4 BINDING TO HSP20
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/046008
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and materials for use in increasing HSP20 activation in a biological system, for example by increasing phosphorylation of Ser16 of HSP20. In one aspect, the invention provides a method for increasing HSP20 activation in a biological system, comprising contacting the system with an antagonist capable of inhibiting PDE4 binding to HSP20, the antagonist comprising or consisting essentially of a fragment of PDE4 or an analogue thereof. In a further aspect the invention provides a method of screening for an agent able to increase activation of HSP20. A preferred antagonist has a C-termina! lysine residue.
