New drug may protect against memory loss

18 September 2019

A new drug discovered through a research collaboration between the University at Buffalo and Tetra Therapeutics may protect against memory loss, nerve damage and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical research found that the drug – called BPN14770 – deters the effects of amyloid beta, a hallmark protein of Alzheimer’s that is toxic to nerve cells. Recent studies find Alzheimer’s may develop without dementia in nearly 25% of healthy 80-year-old patients, suggesting the body may turn to compensatory mechanisms to maintain the nervous system.
