Mechanism of action

Arimoclomol is designed to stimulate a natural cellular repair pathway by activating compounds called “molecular chaperones.” Arimoclomol uses a unique 'molecular chaperone' co-induction mechanism. The small molecule drug candidate is believed to function by stimulating a normal cellular protein repair pathway through the activation of "molecular chaperones." Since damaged proteins called aggregates are thought to play a role in many diseases, CytRx believes that activation of molecular chaperones could have therapeutic efficacy for a broad range of diseases.
