Default New research collaboration (Prana & Takeda) focussed on non-motor aspects of PD

"The research collaboration will investigate the ability of investigational compound PBT434 to mitigate gastrointestinal dysfunction; constipation, lowered colon motility and inflammation in mouse models, including an alpha-synuclein transgenic mouse."

"PBT434 is the first of a new generation of small molecules from the quinazolinone class of drugs that was specifically designed to block the accumulation and aggregation of alpha-synuclein and is expected to begin human testing in a Phase 1 trial later this year."

As noted above, a human clinical trial (Phase I) of PBT434 is planned to commence later this year (focused on motor symptoms).

For those who would like some background information on PBT434, but don't have the time (or inclination) to read the research paper, the SoPD blog has a pretty-good write-up (IMHO):
