Unmet NeedAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects over 5 million people in North America. AD leads to nerve cell death and tissue loss in the brain, shrinking the brain and affecting many of its functions. The global AD population is steadily growing by 3-5% annually, with no cure or effective treatment (BCC Research). Current...

DOPA and Caffeic Acid Analogs as Novel GCPII Inhibitors

Unmet NeedGlutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the human brain [1]. Excessive glutamate signaling can disrupt calcium homeostasis, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, and neuron loss via necrotic or apoptotic pathways [2]. This phenomenon, known as excitotoxicity, contributes to disease...
