Potent Antioxidant Found Safe, Well Tolerated
Single injections of AEOL 10150, made by Aeolus Pharmaceuticals,
are safe and well tolerated in people with ALS at a variety of
dosages, reported neurologist Robert Miller at an ALS/MND symposium
in December. Miller is the director of the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS
Center in San Francisco.
AEOL 10150 is purported to be a potent antioxidant, targeting
superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and other dangerous by-products
of cellular metabolism that have been implicated in ALS and other
degenerative disorders. A multicenter trial of the compound, given
twice daily by injection, is planned. |
