Accure Therapeutics, a private translational neuroscience R&D company, today announces its receipt of two grants totalling $1.6M for two separate development programs on its drug candidate ACT-02. ACT-02 is a novel asset with disease-modifying potential, inhibiting Prolyl Endopeptidase (PREP), a promising but previously overlooked target in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The ACT-02 program is at an advanced preclinical stage, supported by comprehensive positive efficacy data in Parkinson’s in vivo models and a GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) toxicology and safety pharmacology data set.
This is a major milestone for the company, demonstrating support for the robust science and R&D plans behind ACT-02 and its potential in addressing critical unmet needs in PD.
