Funded Activity Summary

Allosteric Enhancers: Leads for the Therapy of Cardiovascular Disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD - heart, stroke and blood vessel disease) kills more people each year than cancer, AIDS and traffic accidents combined. Coronary heart disease (CHD), followed by stroke, is the largest single cause of death in Australia. Allosteric enhancers are particularly attractive drug targets for the prevention of CVD due to their ability to limit injury associated with ischaemic tissue trauma selectively in tissues where adenosine is elevated. Whilst the development of drugs that protect against heart attack and stroke is a difficult and long term objective, any advances toward this goal would clearly be of great benefit to the community.
