Drug to Help Brain Cell Growth

P7C3

According to the new study of the researchers, there is a drug that can help produce new brain cells. In addition to this, this can also lead them to expand the experimental study about the drug that can be used in Alzheimer’s disease.

Moreover, according to this study, they also find that all mammals including humans can construct new cells in the brain as long as they live. However, many of the new brain cells die yet it can last through taking the rodents that can help the new cells to keep them alive.

As Andrew Peiper, one of the researchers that work on the study said that humans can create new neurons everyday and the problem with this situation is how they can stay alive to grow. In addition to this, they can up a compound that can help brain cells to continue their growth.

This compound is also known as P7C3, and Pieper’s team are still working on it to make it more useful with the brain cells. They also said that there is nothing to worry about taking this as a pill because it is safe.
The effect of the compound is almost the same as the experimental drug for Alzheimer’s disease, Dimebon. Moreover, it is also like to other compounds that are created by Serono.

The product of Pfizer Inc. and Medivation Inc., Dimebon actually originated in Russia for antihistamine failed in clinical trial for curing Alzheimer’s disease last March.

The researchers also added that if the two pharmaceutical companies created the Dimebon to help cure the Alzheimer’s disease but did not pass the clinical trial test, they are hoping that with the developing and improving of the compound they can help those who have brain diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.
