Aging Cell
SBC003, a rare natural compound, was shown to activate an endogenous neuroprotective response that protects neurons against multiple toxic protein aggregates including amyloid-β, α-synuclein, prion protein, tau, and amylin oligomers. In vivo studies in non-human primates with naturally occurring optic atrophy demonstrated significant RNFL recovery following oral administration.

Dose-dependent neuroprotection of SBC003 was demonstrated in a validated murine model of retinal photoreceptor degeneration. Outer nuclear layer preservation increased significantly at the higher oral dose versus vehicle (p<0.001). OCT imaging confirmed significantly increased neuroretinal thickness across peripheral, mid-peripheral, and central retina.
