It limits tPA and glutamate mediated neurotoxicity, by blocking the binding of tPA to NMDA receptors, providing neuroprotection
PamBio’s drug product in development is an inactive recombinant mutant-tPA protein. Its S481A amino-acid substitution renders the protein catalytically inactive but maintains its structure and ability to interact with major components of the fibrinolytic pathway.
This therapeutic biomolecule has a dual, antifibrinolytic and neuroprotective effect:
It is the only known antifibrinolytic drug that blocks both tPA and uPA fibrinolysis enzymes’ activity, enabling treatment in a time-window beyond 3 hours
Anti-bleeding Neuroprotection
The only known antifibrinolytic agent that inhibits both, tPA and uPA enzymes
The only known antifibrinolytic agent that increases the anti-bleeding treatment time-window beyond 3 hours
Minimizing blood toxicity in the brain
Stabilizing blood clots (in contrast to creating blood clots) and preventing bleeding
Preventing NMDA-receptor-mediated excitotoxic neuronal death
High degree of similarity to the human tPA protein that minimizes potential immunogenicity and organ/tissue toxicity
High target specificity for reduced side effects
High-affinity binding to targets to minimize dose
Unique and safe mechanism of action
Short half-life

Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Approximately 6 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled
Every 5 seconds a stroke patient dies worldwide
This equals
deaths/year worldwidemillion6.7
