Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. Announces Publication in Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Highlighting Use of JOTROL™
Preclinical proof of concept demonstrated in a disease model
JUPITER, Florida. and BOSTON, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. (“Jupiter” or the “Company”), announced today the publication in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease of “JOTROL™, a Novel Formulation of Resveratrol, Shows Beneficial Effects in the 3xTg-AD Mouse Model”. This research, carried out in collaboration with the University of Miami The Miller School of Medicine demonstrated that a new oral formulation of resveratrol, JOTROL™, was able to provide therapeutically viable levels of resveratrol in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The results showed that JOTROL™ significantly increased bioavailability compared to unformulated resveratrol and that the treatment led to changes in the expression of AD-related genes, as well as changes in the levels of inflammatory genes and cytokines. JOTROL™ may be effective as prophylaxis and/or treatment of AD through increased expression and/or activation of neuroprotective genes, suppression of pro-inflammatory genes, and regulation of central and peripheral cytokine levels. “This study demonstrated the much improved bioavailability and activity of JOTROL™ compared to unformulated resveratrol in an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease with prolonged drug exposure,” said lead author Prof. Claes WahlestedtAssociate Dean for Therapeutic Innovation, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.”
About JOTROL™
JOTROL™, the Company’s unique, patented platform product, is an enhanced resveratrol formulation designed to safely deliver therapeutically relevant levels of resveratrol. In a first-in-man phase I trial, JOTROL™ was administered at increasing doses to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. JOTROL™ was found to be safe and well tolerated at all doses administered and achieved target blood plasma levels 8-10 times higher than naïve resveratrol administered in historical clinical trials. The study was funded by a grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), titled Safety and Pharmacokinetics of JOTROL for Alzheimer’s Disease. Resveratrol can cross the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to have positive effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial function in patients with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
