Alzamend Neuro is working on two patented therapeutics licensed from the University of South Florida, as follows:
AL001: an ionic cocrystal of lithium that may reduce agitation, arrest cognitive decline and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease without the toxic side effects of traditional lithium treatments.
AL002: a cell-based therapeutic vaccine using a mutant-peptide sensitized cell treatment that seeks to restore the ability of the patient’s immunological system to combat Alzheimer’s disease.
ALSI’s CEO and Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III, said, “In my 30 years on Wall Street, I have come to understand the risks and rewards associated with investing in innovative life science companies. Having benefited from numerous successful transactions in this sector, I have now created a new venture, Ault Life Sciences. This was done to both support a promising new company, Alzamend Neuro, in advancing two treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and to uncover additional promising companies and technologies with a focus on treating neurodegenerative diseases. Our leadership team and network of scientific experts are in position as we look to capture the tremendous upside potential of the life sciences sector.”
