Treatment with DMT, A Natural Psychedelic Compound for Brain Injury

Alongside its work in the Alzheimer's Disease market, Algernon was the first company in the world to investigate DMT for stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery.

DMT is a natural compound that may promote neuroplasticity in the brain after injuries like a concussion or stroke.

It is part of the tryptamine family, which also includes psilocybin and psilocin. DMT increases brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), which is critical to healing after a stroke or traumatic brain injury.

AGN NeuroScience

Algernon NeuroScience (AGN Neuro) is a wholly owned private subsidiary of Algernon Pharmaceuticals and has been established to advance its DMT program for stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

PET Scan Launch Partners

The launch partners are highly respected players in the U.S. health care space.

Recent Developments and FDA Approvals

The FDA has approved two new AD antibody treatment therapies developed by Eli Lilly (Kinsula) and Eisai and Biogen (Leqembi). Both are covered by U.S. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. 

These therapies can clear amyloid plaque from the brain and help slow down the progression of the disease.

The FDA has also approved the new ultracompact Oncovision CareMiBrain™ brain-specific, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner system, which can confirm amyloid plaque build-up, a prerequisite established by the FDA prior to the administration of the new AD drug.
