About AL01211
AL01211 is a proprietary, non-brain penetrant GCS inhibitor with excellent potency (single-digit nanomolar IC50), great selectivity, and other favorable drug properties that support once-daily oral administration. AL01211 offers a much-needed oral small molecule therapy as an alternative to current therapies for Fabry disease that require frequent intravenous infusions. Phase II clinical studies of AL01211 in patients with Fabry disease are planned to start in 2023.
About AL00804
AL00804 is a highly brain penetrant GCS inhibitor being developed for the treatment of neuropathic glycolipid storage diseases including Gaucher disease, GM2 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sach and Sandhoff disease), GM1 gangliosidosis, and possibly certain genetic forms of Parkinson’s disease.
About GCS inhibitor
GCS (glucosylceramide synthase) catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of glycosphingolipids, a group of bioactive molecules that play important roles in various cellular processes and diseases. GCS inhibitors reduce the production of glycosphingolipids, thereby exerting beneficial effects to diseases such as Fabry disease and Gaucher disease, which are caused by the accumulation of these lipids.
