ANNOVIS Study of the Buntanetap Drug
About Buntanetap
Buntanetap is a small, orally available molecule that targets neurodegeneration by inhibiting the translation of neurotoxic aggregating proteins and thereby impeding the toxic cascade. This improves axonal transport, synaptic transmission, and reduces neuroinflammation, ultimately restoring the health of nerve cells and brain function. By normalizing these pathways, buntanetap has the potential to reverse neurodegeneration and improve quality of life for patients.
