This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, is focused on developing a Lactobacillus-vectored alkaline phosphatase (AP) to mitigate alcohol-induced leaky gut and endotoxin (LPS) load. The total award of $131,654 will be used to generate and evaluate engineered live biotherapeutic products (ELBPs) that can deliver the proprietary AP (INPRO) to reduce alcohol-induced increases in gut permeability and endotoxin levels. This two-pronged approach aims to overcome limitations associated with oral AP administration, such as short half-life and poor bioavailability. The award will fund research activities from May 2025 to April 2027, with the goal of advancing the most promising ELBP candidates towards preclinical development for addressing alcohol-induced gut and metabolic dysfunction.
