Uses
ALZ-801 is a potent and orally available small-molecule β-amyloid (Aβ) anti-oligomer and aggregation inhibitor, valine-conjugated proagent of Tramiprosate with substantially improved PK properties and gastrointestinal tolerability compared with the parent compound[1]. ALZ-801 is an advanced and markedly improved candidate for the treatment of alzheimer’s disease[2].
