Alpha Cognition announced that the FDA has granted approval for ZUNVEYL® (benzgalantamine) previously known as ALPHA-1062, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. ZUNVEYL, a prodrug of AD treatment galantamine and an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), is postulated to exert its therapeutic effect by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, the important brain neurotransmitter involved in memory, motivation, and attention functions. The approval of ZUNVEYL is a pivotal moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease as it is only the second oral AD treatment to be approved in more than a decade. Chemenu has been working to develop more compounds for drug discovery. Here are the building blocks we can provide.
