About Alpha Cognition Inc.
Alpha Cognition Inc. is a clinical stage,
biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for
patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as
Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), for
which there are limited treatment options.
ALPHA-1062, is a patented new chemical entity
being developed as a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, with expected minimal
gastrointestinal side effects. ALPHA-1062's active metabolite is
differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds
neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype,
which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ALPHA-1062
is also being developed in combination with memantine to treat
moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, and as an intranasal
formulation for traumatic brain injury.
ALPHA-0602 (Progranulin) is expressed in several
cell types in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues,
promotes cell survival, regulates certain inflammatory processes,
and plays a significant role in regulating lysosomal function and
microglial responses to disease. Its intended use for the treatment
of neurodegenerative diseases has been patented by the Company and
ALPHA-0602 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for the
treatment of ALS by the FDA. ALPHA-0702 and ALPHA-0802 are Granulin
Epithelin Motifs, or GEMs, derived from full length progranulin
which have therapeutic potential across multiple neurodegenerative
diseases. GEMs have been shown to be important in regulating cell
growth, survival, repair, and inflammation. ALPHA-0702 and
ALPHA-0802 are designed to deliver this with potentially lower
toxicity, and greater therapeutic effect.
