Overview

ATC161 is an orally bioavailable small molecule Autophagy-Targeting Chimera (AUTOTAC) developed by Autotac Bio for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. It functions by selectively binding to pathological alpha-synuclein aggregates and the autophagy receptor p62 (SQSTM1), thereby facilitating the degradation of these toxic aggregates via the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. Unlike traditional inhibitors, ATC161 promotes the clearance of existing protein aggregates without affecting the physiological monomeric form of alpha-synuclein. Preclinical data indicate that ATC161 reduces neuroinflammation and improves motor performance in animal models. The compound has received Investigational New Drug (IND) approval for Phase 1 clinical trials in South Korea.
