Attacking Alzheimer's Disease and Neurodegeneration by Improving
AXONAL TRANSPORT
We enhance the FLOW of Information Along the Information Highway of Nerve Cells
WE ARE DEVELOPING DRUGS FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND PARKINSON’S DISEASE, INCLUDING THE ORPHAN INDICATION DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER’S IN DOWN SYNDROME
Our novel approach to addressing chronic and acute neurodegeneration offers new hope in the fight against the largest unmet need of an aging population

The idea that sticky brain plaques cause Alzheimer’s disease began as an interesting hypothesis and eventually became drug industry dogma. Now, after a string of clinical trial failures, that hypothesis looks less credible than ever.

Amyloid Plaque and Aβ is NOT The Only Answer
After amyloid failures, it’s time to take a new tack for treating Alzheimer’s
Neurotoxic proteins reduce axonal transport and cause a
TOXIC CASCADE
Impaired axonal transport lowers levels of neurotransmitters and neurotrophic proteins leading to nerve cell death.
