ATH434, also known as PBT434, is a novel, brain-penetrant, inhibitor of α-synuclein aggregation. In transgenic animal models of Parkinson disease (A53T) and MSA (PLP-α-Syn), PBT434 reduced α-synuclein aggregation, preserved neurons and improved motor function. Glial cell inclusions were also reduced in a murine MSA model. PBT434 is thought to act by redistributing reactive iron across membranes, thereby blocking intracellular protein aggregation and oxidative stress. The affinity of PBT434 for iron is greater than that of α-synuclein but lower than that of iron trafficking proteins, e.g., ferritin.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
