About Alpha Cognition Inc.
Alpha Cognition, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of innovative product candidates targeting neurological diseases.
Alpha-1062, is a patented new chemical entity that has demonstrated safety and improved tolerability in human clinical trials. It is being developed as a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, with minimal gastrointestinal side effects and novel routes of administration. Alpha-1062’s active metabolites are differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that they may sensitize 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 dementia and in a nasal spray formulation to treat traumatic brain injury.
Alpha-602 (Progranulin) is expressed in several cell types in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues, regulates cell survival and certain inflammatory processes, and plays a major role in regulating lysosomal function and microglial responses to disease. Its use for the treatment neurodegenerative diseases has been patented by ACI and granted an Orphan Drug Designation.
