ProSavin is an experimental drug believed to be of use in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. It is administered to the striatum in the brain, inducing production of dopamine.[1]

It is manufactured by Oxford BioMedica, who plan to start European Phase I and Phase II clinical trials in 2007. Animal trials have been a success, with dopamine levels restored without the side effects associated with other current treatments for Parkinson's,[2] in particular, without the jerky involuntary movements associated with current drugs.[3]

Mechanism of Action

Prosavin uses Oxford BioMedica's Lentivector delivery system to transfer three genes, aromatic amino acid dopa decarboxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and GTP-cyclohydrolase 1, to the striatum in the brain, reprogramming transduced cells to secrete dopamine.[4]
