(the broad ability of J147 to protect nerve cells)
Scientists at the Salk Institute report they have developed a new drug that holds potential for halting the mental decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. In a study, the drug, known as JI47, improved memory and prevented brain damage in mice. 
“J147 enhances memory in both normal and Alzheimer’s mice and also protects the brain from the loss of synaptic connections,” said David Schubert, Ph.D., the head of Salk’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory. “No drugs on the market for Alzheimer’s have both of these properties.”
Although it is yet unknown whether the compound will prove safe and effective in humans, the Salk researchers’ say their results suggest the drug is promising for treatment of people with Alzheimer’s. Based on the test results from each chemical iteration of the lead compound, which was originally developed for treatment of stroke and traumatic brain injury, they were able to alter its chemical structure to make a much more potent Alzheimer’s drug. Continue to read: psychcentral.com
