[{"type":"text","content":" ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nAlzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) (“Alzamend”), an early clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, today announced the appointment of Dr. Terri Hunter, Ph.D., a Technology Transfer Specialist, to its Scientific Advisory Board. During her tenure at the University of South Florida (“USF”), Dr. Hunter was responsible for managing the patent portfolio associated with Alzamend’s two product candidates, AL001 and AL002. AL001 is a novel lithium-delivery system; it is a lithium-salicylate-L-proline engineered ionic co-crystal under development as an oral treatment for patients with dementia related to mild, moderate, and severe cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer’s disease (“Alzheimer’s”). AL001 has the potential to deliver benefits of marketed lithium carbonate without current toxicities. AL002 is a patented method using a mutant-peptide sensitized cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that reduces beta-amyloid plaque and seeks to restore the ability of the patient’s immunological system to combat Alzheimer’s.\nThis press release features multimedia.

I am thrilled at the swift progress of Alzamend’s clinical program and the recently reported full data set of AL001’s Phase I study. The possibility of providing benefits from AL001 containing lithium at up to 50% of the currently approved lithium carbonate dosage, with the potential for better outcomes and elimination of the need for lithium therapeutic drug monitoring, is a win for the 3+ million Americans currently taking lithium-based treatments. Moreover, that the Phase I data confirm AL001’s potential as a replacement of the current lithium-based treatment and the potential for a new treatment option for the over 40+ million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), is profound and could greatly impact the health care system.”\n\nCurrently, Dr. Hunter is a Technology Transfer Specialist at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (...
