Neurotrope is a clinical-stage biotech company leveraging
Bryostatin-1 and its analogues to discover and develop targeted therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases and developmental disorders.
'Our confirmatory Phase 2 trial is based on clinical data from our previous exploratory Phase 2 trial, which showed significant improvements in Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) scores for patients in the 20-microg
Bryostatin-1 dose group not on memantine,' Dr.
Neurotrope has concluded data collection in its confirmatory Phase 2 double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of
Bryostatin-1 in the treatment of moderately severe to severe Alzheimer's disease.
Bryostatin-1 is expected to enter Phase 1b clinical trials in 2020 to study its potential role in enhancing immuno-oncology drugs in the treatment of hematologic (blood) cancers.

Neurotrope achieved positive results from a Phase II, multidose, exploratory trial evaluating
Bryostatin-1 as a treatment of cognitive deficits in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.
Chronic exposure to
bryostatin-1 increases the radiosensitivity of U937 leukaemia cells ectopically expressing Bcl-2 through a non-apoptotic mechanism.
Bryostatin-1 has been shown to potently inhibit the growth and self-renewal capacity of human leukemia cells at nanomolar concentrations in vivo and in vitro (26-28).
Dual effects of
bryostatin-1 on spatial memory and depression.
For our research, this ecosystem is important because one of the marine animals that resides there, the bryozoa Bugula neritina, contains the FDA-approved natural product
bryostatin-1. For example, Figure 3 shows a MALDI-MS analysis of a pentanol extract of sediment from the same ecosystem and illustrates peaks where
bryostatin-1 plus [Na.sup.+] would be located (927 m/z).
