Comment: NCGC607 is a glucocerebrosidase (GCase) chaperone [1]. Unlike ambroxol, it does not occlude the enzyme active site so is not predicted to inhibit GCase activity. Enhancement of lysosomal GCase activity using chaperone molecules is being explored in diseases that are associated with mutant GCase GBA1, such as the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher disease, and the neurodegenerative synucleinopathies Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Enhanced GCase activity is predicted to prevent aggregation of neurotoxic proteins or improve the clearance of protein aggregates. This mechanism is considered to be applicable to a number of age-related neurodegenerative disorders that are characterised by aggregates of misfolded, non-functional and neurotoxic proteins [2]. Under experimental conditions, NCGC607 restores GCase activity and protein levels, and reduces glycolipid storage in Gaucher macrophages, and reduces α-synuclein levels in dopaminergic neurons from Parkinson's patients [1].
