Allergan increases pipeline with Parkinson’s deal
Allergan has stepped into the field of Parkinson’s disease with an option to acquire US-based neurodegenerative research group Lysosomal Therapeutics (LTI). LTI-291, LTI’s lead programme, is designed to stimulate the activity of glucocerebrosidase (GCase) in the brain, which is reduced in many lysosomal storage diseases because of mutations in the GBA1 gene.
