Synaptogenix
Synaptogenix (OCTMKTS: SNPX) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that has historically worked to develop novel neuro-regenerative drug therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Synaptogenix has conducted clinical and preclinical studies of its lead therapeutic candidate, Bryostatin-1, in Alzheimer's disease ("AD"), and preclinical studies for rare diseases such as Fragile X syndrome, as well as multiple sclerosis, autistic spectrum disorder, and traumatic brain injury. Bryostatin-1 has already undergone testing in more than 1,600 people in cancer and AD studies, thus creating a large safety data base that will further inform clinical trial designs.C
