Abstract GRN haploinsufficiency reduces progranulin and causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD-GRN). VES001, an oral small-molecule sortilin inhibitor, increases progranulin without downregulating sortilin. Preclinically, VES001 bound sortilin selectively and elevated progranulin in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and hippocampal interstitial fluid of male rats.
