OXIS' LSA molecules are designed to mimic the activity of the body's natural cell membrane-protecting antioxidant, vitamin E. Molecules from this series are 20 to 40 fold more potent than vitamin E and move into cell membranes much more quickly, making them more appropriate as drugs than the natural vitamin. The primary disease targets for this series of molecules will include neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease as well as cardiovascular diseases.
