Published purpose

LSALT is a peptide drug and a selective non-enzymatic dipeptidase-1 antagonist and prevents leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells creating numerous indications for targeting inflammation in the context of microbial and non-microbial (sterile) tissue injury. In pre-clinical mouse models, LSALT has proven efficacious in preventing acute kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion, toxins and sepsis. LSALT patents have been assigned to Arch Biopartners Inc. who will manage drug development and human clinical trials for acute kidney injury as the first indication. Identification of new and more effective versions of LSALT is ongoing.
