U.S. Senator Todd Young Visits Neurodon’s Facilities
U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-IN) recently toured Neurodon’s laboratory and offices at its headquarters in Crown Point, Indiana. Senator Young and his team were interested to hear about Neurodon’s progress towards clinical translation of its novel small molecule therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and rare diseases. The Senator also took the opportunity to tour Neurodon’s […]
Neurodon Joins the Longevity Biotechnology Association (LBA)
There is a growing body of evidence that aberrant cellular calcium homeostasis, ER stress, and the UPR are correlated with aging and age-associated diseases such as neurodegeneration. Since Neurodon’s focus is on correcting this dysfunction, we envision leveraging our insight and small molecules to target aging both in a disease-focused and global manner. By partnering […]
Neurodon Awarded Nearly $3 Million from NIH to Advance its Drug for Alzheimer’s Disease
This grant will be used for continued development and Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies to support clinical translation of the company’s small molecule activators of the SERCA enzyme for Alzheimer’s disease. Neurodon’s novel molecules have demonstrated neuroprotective properties and the ability to improve learning and memory in several preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease. To date, […]
JDRF and Neurodon Partner to Advance Small Molecules Targeting a Key Pathway in Type 1 Diabetes Progression
Research focused on understanding the role of beta cell dysfunction and death in T1D progression. Neurodon will work with Dr. Carmella Evans-Molina of the IU School of Medicine and Dr. Decio L. Eizirik of the ULB, both prominent physician scientists with research programs focused on understanding the role of beta cell dysfunction and death in […]
Curative Potential for Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s
A potential gamechanger for patients In addition to controlling blood glucose, the expert said data indicates Neurodon’s investigational diabetes drug restored beta cell health in several models of the disease, something no other drug on the market can do. Neurodon’s diabetes drug NDC-0009 has the potential to treat both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, […]
Neurodon Announces Initiation of IND-Enabling Studies for Diabetes
Neurodon aims to initiate clinical trials in the second half of 2022 “We are excited to achieve this milestone with the selection of a development candidate for our diabetes program. Our molecules have demonstrated compelling efficacy in both animal models and human pancreatic islets, and we are focused on developing first-in-class therapeutics to meaningfully impact […]
Neurodon Board Director Brunde Broady Releases New Book
About the book, Brunde Broady said, “Calcium ATPase is a critical component of good health. My goal is to provide the reader with research-based information on how to optimize their levels of this important enzyme and reduce their susceptibility to chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.” Neurodon CEO, Dr. Russell […]
Neurodon Announces Collaboration with Harvard Medical School
The collaboration leverages the Kajimura Lab’s world-class expertise in adipose tissue biology Neurodon and Kajimura Lab’s work together has the potential to deliver therapeutics for diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance. Russell Dahl, Ph.D., Neurodon Founder, and CEO, said, “As a patient-focused company, Neurodon was launched to deliver disease-modifying therapies for unmet diseases. Shingo has made […]
NIH grant to help advance Neurodon’s Alzheimer’s drug development
A new therapeutic strategy The Neurodon team is working with scientists at Purdue and Northwestern University on targeted neuroprotective molecules. The molecules have been shown in lab studies to improve memory and cognition in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease by preserving calcium ion balance in neurons and offering a new therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration drug […]
SERCA Activator may Improve Memory and Cognition for Alzheimer’s Patients
In the Alzheimer’s disease models, the SERCA activator shows promise in reducing cellular stress and preventing cell loss in neurons. The molecule corrects cells’ calcium ion balance and represents a new therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration drug development. “We have identified a compound that could therapeutically slow or halt Alzheimer’s disease, while also demonstrating its ability […]
