Dr. Koop-Drugs Aim to Attack Root of Alzheimer's

Drugs Aim to Attack Root of Alzheimer's: "One trial being presented at the conference, which runs from July 17 to 22, found a drug called Alzhemed was safe and well-tolerated in 58 patients with Alzheimer's. The drug interferes with the ability of proteins to stick together. Alzhemed was also found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of participants, meaning it bridged the blood-brain barrier. Also, circulating levels of beta-amyloid protein in the CSF were lowered after the three-month trial."
