Overview

New therapies targeting the serum amyloid protein (SAP), which is an excellent immunogen and a universal component of all amyloid deposits, using monoclonal antibodies are currently being investigated.

Future and Investigational Therapies

Possible future treatment options which are currently being investigated include:

  • Anti-SAP antibody
  • CPHPC

CPHPC also called R-1-[6-[R-2-carboxy-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-6-oxo-hexanoyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid is a competitive inhibitor of SAP binding to amyloid fibrils. CPHPC is a proline-derived small molecule able to strip amyloid P (AP) from deposits by reducing levels of circulating serum amyloid P (SAP). The SAP-amyloid association has also been identified as a possible drug target for anti-amyloid therapy, with the recent development and first stage clinical trials of CPHPC for amyloidosis.[1]
