Title:
USE OF PDH INHIBITORS IN TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/029678
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a use of PDH inhibitors in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and according to the present invention, in a DJ-1 deletion Parkinson's disease Drosophila model, by activation of PDK, promotion of PDK expression through DJ-1 and HIF-1, inhibition of PDP, or genetic and pharmacological inhibition of PDH using PDH inhibitors, sensitivity to ROS was lowered, and death of dopaminergic neurons was significantly reduced, and accordingly, the PDH inhibitors can be used in the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
