Tramiprosate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) mimetic that targets soluble beta-Amyloid (amyloid beta, Abeta) and maintains beta-Amyloid (Abeta) in a non-fibrillar form. Decreases brain amyloid plaque load by 30%, increases tau polymerization and is brain penetrant. Decreases beta-Amyloid (Abeta) 42-induced neuronal death and inhibits amyloid deposition in vitro.
