Pharmacokinetics of quinacrine in the treatment of prion disease

BACKGROUND: Prion diseases are caused by the accumulation of an aberrantly folded isoform of the prion protein, designated PrP(Sc). In a cell-based assay, quinacrine inhibits the conversion of normal host prion protein (PrP(C)) to PrP(Sc )at a half-maximal concentration of 300 nM. While these data s...
