Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| Projects on the development of multi-target drugs
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease We will continue our project on the development of compounds that block adenosine A2A receptors and inhibit monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) for the treatment of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Additional effects on other relevant targets are investigated, e.g. A1 receptor blockade, COMT inhibition etc.
Immunotherapy of cancer Another project focuses on the development of dual A2A/A2B receptor antagonists for the immunotherapy of cancer. The first selective A2A antagonists are in clinical trials for this indication. Dual A2A/A2B antagonists are expected to are more effective in reversing the inhibition of the immune system and in fighting cancer cells.
