Alpha- Antitrypsin Deficiency – Pipeline Review, H2 2018: Ken Research

0


Alpha- Antitrypsin Deficiency, also called as AAT is a genetic disease that causes serious lung diseases that leads to difficulty in breathing. The disease might further spread to weaken the liver which would lead to jaundice. No cure has been discovered so far but with effective treatment, AAT can be kept in control without causing major respiratory difficulties. This disease is causes due to inability of the liver to produce a protein called Alpha- 1 antitrypsin in adequate quantities. Without this protein, irritants can easily attack the lungs at a faster rate. Symptoms are hard to be detected until in 20s or 30s when they slowly start surfacing. For a few people, AAT can lead to chronic bronchitis and even chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. Many affected with AAT often carry inhalers to ease their breathing just like in asthma. However, no two cases of AAT are alike.

Neutrophil elastase (NE) is capable of degrading a variety of structural proteins of the extracellular matrix. Excessive NE activity have been detected in various lung diseases, including bronchitis, pulmonary obstructive diseases. Endogenous human NE is mostly neutralised by AAT. Congenital deficiency of AAT leads to emphysema which can be treated with therapeutic AAT. Of recently, many synthetic and recombinant elastase inhibitors have been identified and are in the stage of development for clinical and preclinical purposes.
