Neurotrope announces that a new study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that Bryostatin, a PKC epsilon Activator, Generates New Synapses Through Accumulation of the Synaptic Anchoring Protein PSD-95 at Neuronal Membranes
PR Newswire - Thu Jun 23, 7:30AM CDT
Neurotrope, Inc. (OTCQB: NTRP) today announced that a study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that its lead Alzheimer's drug, Bryostatin, licensed from the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute (BRNI), increases the levels of the synaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95, and induces the movement of phosphorylated PSD-95 to the neuronal membranes. The study, conducted within the BRNI basic research programs, showed that Bryostatin induced activation of PKC epsilon increased synaptic number, pre-synaptic vesicle density, and clusters of PSD-95. It is known that either AB or tau, both toxic proteins in Alzheimer's disease brains, can induce reduction of PSD-95 in excitatory synapses in hippocampus. Furthermore, this PSD-95 reduction continues to occur as the Alzheimer's pathologies advance. A Phase 2b clinical trial funded by Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc., Neurotrope, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, is underway to test the efficacy of Bryostatin for the treatment of the causes and progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Neurotrope Announces Publication Demonstrating Synaptic Regeneration with the PKC epsilon Activator Bryostatin, in a Fragile X Disease Late Brain Development Model
PR Newswire - Tue Mar 08, 7:30AM CST
Neurotrope, Inc. (OTCQB: NTRP) today announced that its lead Alzheimer's drug Bryostatin improved disease symptoms and restored normal synaptic networks in a young transgenic animal model of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a common genetic cause of mental retardation and autism. The study led by scientists at the Blanchette Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute (BRNI) demonstrated that chronic treatment with bryostatin-1 rescues young fragile X mice (corresponding to 15 - 16 year old children) from the disorder phenotypes, including reversal of most FXS abnormalities of 1) hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, 2) the synaptic anchoring protein, PSD-95, levels, 3) transformation of immature dendritic synapses to fully mature, developed synapses, 4) sub-cellular densities of the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes, and 5) spatial learning and memory. These results were long lasting and confirmed by electron microscopy. While other attempts at Fragile X therapeutics have focused on reduced mGluR5 receptor levels, the Bryostatin efficacy for treating Fragile X did not require changes of mGluR5 and were even more dramatic than those of a late-onset treatment in adult Fragile X mice. As a result of the mutation of the FMR1 gene, the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is not produced. It is known that this protein is abundant in the neurons of the hippocampus and cerebellum of non-affected individuals, but it is not yet fully understood why the absence of FMRP results in the phenotype of Fragile X. We have found that chronic activation of PKC in the hippocampus by Bryostatin can rescue synapses and spatial cognition, as well as other FXS phenotypes. This rescue in Fragile X mice is remarkably similar to the rescue of synapses, spatial cognition, and other Alzheimer's disease (AD) phenotypes in AD transgenic mice. The new Fragile X study in late brain development is entitled "Rescue of Synaptic Phenotypes and Special Memory in Young Fragile X Mice," was authored by Miao-Kun Sun, Jarin Hongpaisan, and Dr. Daniel L. Alkon, and is published, in the Fast Forward edition of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, dated March 3, 2016.
