RE:RE:Attralus buys in brain shuttle tech to cross BBB
RE:RE:Attralus buys in brain shuttle tech to cross BBBI misspoke a little about other technologies not using the LRP-1 receptor. Angiochem's Angiopep-2 uses that receptor but, if I recall correctly, Angiopep-2 has difficulty decoupling from the LRP-1 receptor in the endosome, preventing the LRP-1 receptor from recycling back to the BBB endothelial cell surface.
xB3-drugs, on the other hand, decouple easily from the LRP-1 receptor, allowing the receptor to recycle back to the BBB cell surface in about 30 minutes. This rapid recycling is one of the reasons that xB3 can transport more drug than other technologies. Any given LRP-1 receptor can continue to transport an xB3-drug across the BBB every 30 minutes as long as the drug remains in the bloodstream. (This is all from memory and I will humbly submit to any corrections.)
I don't think anybody considers AngioPep-2 to be a threat to any of the receptor-mediated transcytosis technologies.
