Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AMEX:LIV): -- Alzheimer's Expected
to Claim 14M Lives by 2050 -- Analyst Predict Alzheimer's Market
Could Reach $4B Annually by 2013 Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
(AMEX:LIV) a developer of innovative drugs, announced today, its
Alzheimer's drug SP233, recently registered as Caprospinol, showed
no toxic effects in standard preclinical assays used to evaluate
its safety. This is an important finding for SP233's future as a
possible life-saving, memory-saving, Alzheimer's drug. Samaritan
has concluded a number of preclinical studies of SP233, in
preparation to file an investigational new drug (IND) application,
with the FDA. While the jury is still out as to the exact cause of
Alzheimer's, most researchers think a buildup of the protein
beta-amyloid in the brain is what causes the disease. So far, each
preclinical study has given Samaritan hope that SP233 holds promise
to exert neuroprotective properties against beta-amyloid toxicity.
Dr. Greeson, CEO of Samaritan stated, "We are wrapping up the last
preclinical study to file an IND with the FDA, it's been a complex
process but we are almost there, it's exciting. We are cautiously
optimistic the FDA will grant us an IND and if so, SP233 would be
one of the few drugs to be tested in humans that could actually
treat Alzheimer's, not just alleviate its symptoms." Samaritan
