About Alpha Cognition Inc.
Alpha Cognition is a commercial-stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), for which there are currently no approved treatment options.
Zunveyl is a patented drug approved as a new-generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, with expected minimal gastrointestinal side effects. Zunveyl's active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it improves the function of neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. Benzgalantamine is also being developed in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's dementia and as an intranasal formulation for cognitive impairment with mTBI.
