Plasmin-resistant PSD-95 inhibitors resolve effect-modifying drug-drug interactions between alteplase and nerinetide in acute stroke
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neuroprotection for acute ischemic stroke is achievable with the eicosapeptide nerinetide, an inhibitor of the protein-protein interactions of the synaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95. However, nerinetide is subject to proteolytic cleavage if administered after alteplase, a standard-of-care thrombolytic agent that nullifies nerinetide's beneficial effects. Here, we showed, on the basis of pharmacokinetic data consistent between rats, primates, and humans, that in a rat model of embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (eMCAO), nerinetide maintained its effectiveness when administered before alteplase. Because of its short plasma half-life, it can be followed by alteplase within minutes without reducing its neuroprotective effectiveness. In addition, the problem of protease sensitivity is solved by substituting cleavage-prone amino acids from their l- to their d-enantiomeric form. Treatment of rats subjected to eMCAO with such an agent, termed d-Tat-l-2B9c, eliminated protease sensitivity and maintained neuroprotective effectiveness. Our data suggest that both the clinical-stage PSD-95 inhibitor nerinetide and protease-resistant agents such as d-Tat-l-2B9c may be practically integrated into existing stroke care workflows and standards of care.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
