Brief description We will test our hypothesis that ring stabilizer (RS) compounds we invented may become future proteinuric kidney disease therapeutics. The global epidemic of kidney disease eludes present treatments. Dysfunction of podocyte cells accounts for 90% of end-stage kidney diseases. Our pilot data shows that our ring stabilizer compounds restore podocyte function in vitro and kidney function in animal models. We aim to understand their mechanism of action.
