Alterity Therapeutics (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) ("Alterity" or "the Company") has today announced the allowance of a new composition of matter patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The new patent is the product of in-house discovery research and is central to Alterity's next generation drug development portfolio focussed on neurodegenerative diseases.
The patent, entitled "Compounds for and Methods of Treating Diseases" (Application No. 16/818,641), covers more than 150 novel pharmaceutical compositions that are designed to redistribute the labile iron implicated in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. The patent, which was filed in March of 2020, underwent prioritized examination by the USPTO.
Alterity's strategy is based on the hypothesis that its therapeutics can disrupt the underlying pathology of neurodegenerative conditions in which labile iron is implicated in disease pathology. This includes Parkinsonian disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Multiple System Atrophy, as well as Alzheimer's disease.
