| NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Synaptogenix, Inc. (OTC: SNPX), formerly Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc., announced a new report published by “Scientific Reports,” an open-access journal publishing peer reviewed research through Nature.com, titled “Chronic Bryostatin-1 rescues autistic and cognitive phenotypes in the fragile X mice.” This new study, in collaboration with the Fragile X Foundation and scientists in the United Kingdom, highlights that Bryostatin has potential applicability for autistic spectrum disorders. “The results show the potential of Bryostatin to regenerate synapses in other degenerative brain disorders that produce autistic spectrum behaviors. Bryostatin’s regenerative potential has been previously demonstrated during the past two decades for pre-clinical models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Parkinson’s disease, and Multiple Sclerosis,” stated President and Founding Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Daniel Alkon. “In conjunction with our recent capital infusion from new and existing investors last week, we will also be exploring how Bryostatin might benefit other clinical indications, and this report is further validation of both our neuro-regenerative strategy, as well as the specific potential to treat autistic spectrum behaviors. We continue to move forward with our current NIH supported Phase 2 studies with Alzheimer’s disease patients and look forward to updating investors as they progress,” added Dr. Alan J. Tuchman, CEO of Synaptogenix. The peer reviewed report can be accessed via Nature.com at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74848-6. About Synaptogenix, Inc.
