Novel pharmacotherapies for the treatment of central TH deprivation associated with Mct8/Oatp1c1 deficiency
Prof. Dr. Paul T. Pfluger & PD Dr. Timo D. Müller
In this proposal we will evaluate a series of novel TH/peptide chimeras for their ability to improve brain TH deficiency associated with AHDS. Studies will include LSFM and MS-based assessment of drug BBB permeability, advanced in vitro and in vivo approaches to delineate proof-of-concept and drugability of central Mct8 deficiency and state-of-the-art genetic, microscopic, transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to further advance our knowledge on the neuronal and behavioral underpinnings underlying disturbed Mct8 expression and function.
