Utreloxastat (PTC857) is an investigational new drug developed by PTC Therapeutics for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). [1]
Utreloxastat is a 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) inhibitor that has been used to study α-synucleinopathies, tauopathies, traumatic brain injury, and ischemic-reperfusion related injuries. Utreloxastat is a redox‐active inhibitor of ferroptosis. [2]
Utreloxastat has reached Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). [3] [4] [5] However this trial failed to show significant efficacy in slowing disease progression. [6]
