QR2
Alzheimer disease (AD) develops slowly and has no effective treatment, yet we have recently demonstrated that a major, novel target in AD is the little-known enzyme quinone reductase 2 (QR2). Inhibiting QR2 is expected to both enhance cognition and attenuate AD progression. We aim to develop a first-in-class AD drug based on uniquely soluble, bioavailable, non-toxic and highly specific QR2 inhibitors developed in our lab, and thus preclinical development of our QR2 inhibitors may provide a novel drug to treat AD via a previously unexplored mechanism.
