GAL 101 (formerly MRZ 99030 or EG-030) a small-molecule β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation modulator with neuroprotective activity. It does not directly prevent early protein/protein interactions between monomeric Aβ, but rather promotes the formation of large, non-amyloidogenic, amorphous Aβ aggregates and thereby reduces the amount of intermediate toxic soluble oligomeric Aβ species. In vivo studies demonstrate the neuroprotective potential of MRZ-99030 after systemic and topical administration in animal models of Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration respectively. Currently, it is in Phase I trial for the treatment of glaucoma.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: EG-030 is CNS active in animals. No human data available.

Sample Use Guides

In anaesthetized rats, pre-administration of MRZ-99030 (50 mg/kg s.c.) protected against deficits in hippocampal LTP following i.c.v. injection of oligomeric Aβ1-42.
Route of Administration: Other
MRZ-99030 (100-500 nM) at a 10:1 stoichiometric excess to Aβ clearly reversed the synaptotoxic effects of Aβ1-42 oligomers on CA1-LTP in murine hippocampal slices.

ACTIVE MOIETY
MRZ-99030 is a modulator of A.BETA. aggregation which prevents the formation of soluble toxic oligomeric A.BETA. species. The affinity of MRZ-99030 binding to A.BETA.1-42 was determined to be 28.4 +/- 2.9 nM as revealed by surface plasmon resonance measurements. The combined interpretation of extensive results from experiments using dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy, CD-spectroscopy, SDS PAGE, Western blots/silver stains and TR-FRET revealed that MRZ-99030 does not prevent direct protein/protein interactions between monomeric A.BETA. species, but rather promotes the formation of large, amorphous/globular A.BETA. species when present at a 10:1 stoichiometric excess to A.BETA.. Since amyloidogenic fibrillar structures are ultimately also not formed MRZ-99030 is believed to trigger a non-amyloidogenic self-propagating/detoxifying pathway and thereby reduces the amount of intermediate toxic soluble oligomeric A.BETA. species.

Official Title: Safety and Tolerability of MRZ-99030 Eye Drops in Healthy Volunteers and Glaucoma Patients Purpose: (1)To assess the safety and tolerability of repeat dose topical administration of MRZ-99030 Ophthalmic Solution with ascending doses in healthy subjects (stage 1) and glaucoma subjects (stage 2). (2)To assess plasma pharmacokinetics and urine concentration of MRZ- 99030 and its metabolite MRZ-9499 after single and repeat dose topical administration of MRZ-99030 Ophthalmic Solution.
