Brenig's innovative approach to the rationally designed LRRK2 inhibitor (BT-0267) marks a significant stride in the company's mission to combat neurodegenerative diseases. LRRK2, a key protein implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD), has been a challenging therapeutic target. Brenig's cutting-edge research has culminated in the development of a candidate with a highly efficient blood-brain barrier penetration, minimal peripheral exposure, as well as a superior overall safety profile.

Current data highlights the superior safety profile of LRRK2 Inhibitor BT-0267 with an exceptional CSF to plasma ratio, in vivo efficacy of BT-0267 in brain and no visible lung and kidney morphological changes compared to other LRRK2 inhibitor candidates. BT-0267 will be entering human clinical trials by the end of 2024.

Brenig's breakthrough efforts in developing the best-in-class LRRK2 inhibitor for the disease modifying treatment of PD population, including idiopathic PD (iPD) cases, have been supported by the cutting-edge computer-aided drug design and structural biology expertise of Expert Systems Accelerator.
