Silo Pharma Announces Positive Results in Alzheimer’s Disease Study
Silo Pharma, Inc. recently announced its Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic SPC-14 showed positive efficacy in small animals. Data from a study conducted at Columbia University in collaboration with Silo Pharma showed that SPC-14 was effective against LH stress in attenuating learned helplessness, perseverative behavior, and hyponeophagia (a measure of anxiety). The mice were treated twice daily with the SPC-14 therapeutic.
“We believe today’s announcement, along with our past studies of SPC-14 conducted in female rodents, lends credibility to our discovery of a therapeutic that could bring relief to patients and families suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating disease that degrades cognitive function and can erase a lifetime of memories. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the next steps and data needed to advance SPC-14 to a clinical study,” said Eric Weisblum, Chief Executive Officer of Silo Pharma.
