MSA and Alpha synuclein oligomers, Epigallocatechin-gallate Relationship

Formation of toxic α-synuclein oligomers appears to be a key underlying pathological mechanism of synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA). 

Given that Epigallocatechin-gallate has been shown to inhibit α-synuclein aggregation, it might represent a causal treatment option. Therefore, we set out to evaluate the safety, tolerability and a potential disease-modifying effect of Epigallocatechin-gallate in patients with MSA after 48 weeks of treatment.
