Alzheimer's Disease Latest Research by Zain Medical - a podcast by Zain Medical Center

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological dysfunction in which the death of brain cells prompts memory loss and cognitive deterioration said by the experts of Zain Medical Center. During the disease, the symptom may seem delicate but they can become more stringent over time. Recent studies have determined that more than 6.8 million people in the U.S. are surviving from this disease. And due to this, researchers have discovered a new drug research that may protect against memory loss in Alzheimer's disease.

Let's find out which type of drug research is this and how it will treat the disease with the experts of Zain Medical Center.

Drug Research on Alzheimer’s disease

After too much of study on drug research, researchers have been able to find the drug named BPN14770 that can defend against memory loss of Alzheimer's disease. This new drug hinders the impacts of amyloid-beta, a trademark proteid of Alzheimer's that is poisonous to nerve cells. Its benefits could also interpret to Fragile X syndrome says Sami Anwar the research director of Zain Medical Center.

Drug BPN14770

Also, investigations have indicated that Alzheimer's pathogeny can be endured by the brain to some measure due to compensatory mechanisms functioning at the cellular and synaptic levels said by the experts of Zain Medical Center. Researchers have also suggested that BPN14770 may be proficient in stimulating complicated physiological mechanisms. It preserve the cerebellum from memory shortfalls, neuronal impairment, and biochemical impairments.

When the drug BPN14770 was tested on mice it was found that it inhibited the action of phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D). It’s an enzyme that performs a pivotal character in consciousness, learning, neuroinflammation, and traumatic understanding hemorrhage. The enzyme named as PDE4D diminishes the cAMP - that has copious propitious roles, including enhanced retention. Also, cAMP acts as an intermediary particle that indicates physiological alterations. It includes cell division, transformation, movement and separation throughout the body, commencing to substantial modifications in the brain.

BPN14770 acts by an innovative mechanism to enhance cyclic AMP signalling in the brain, which has been shown to enhance memory. According to the experts of Zain Medical Center, the collaborative project has led to clinical trials that will begin to test its effectiveness.
