Brain-Targeting Delivery of Two Peptidylic Inhibitors for Their Combination Therapy in Transgenic Polyglutamine Disease Mice via Intranasal Administration

Polyglutamine diseases are a set of progressive neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolding and aggregation of mutant CAG RNA and polyglutamin protein. To date, there is a lack of effective therapeutics that can counteract the polyglutamine neurotoxicity. Two peptidylic inhibitors, QBP1 and P3, targeting the protein and RNA toxicities, respectively, have been previously demonstrated by us with combinational therapeutic effects on the...
