Our Science
Biopharmaceutical innovation and world class R&D
NSB (ASX:NSB) is a drug development company focused on developing peptide-based pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions with high unmet medical need.
The NSB product portfolio includes several therapeutic peptides that are modeled on the domains of a naturally occurring protein called Metallothionein-II (MT-II).
EmtinB is the lead candidate that has shown to closely mimic the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative ability of MT-II.
Innovation
Unique Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of EmtinB occurs via binding to surface-based cell receptors belonging to the LDLR family, which activate intracellular signaling pathways that “turn on” survival processes of neurons and modulate neuroinflammation.
EmtinB is currently being developed as a treatment for neurodegenerative dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and degenerative conditions of the optic nerve.
