Anti-Cancer Medication Could Treat Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer's Disease

A number of scientists have found that an anti-cancer medication might treat Alzheimer’s disease, especially in patients with early stages of the illness. This treatment can make it much easier for people to learn a new language or improve both their short-term and long-term memory. Furthermore, the newly found cure helps patients suffering from other forms of brain degeneration and dementia by remapping their nerves’ connections and preserving the current tissues.

Alzheimer’s illness is the most frequent form of dementia, a category of psychological problems that cause severe memory loss and other nervous complications. An approximated 4.5 million people only in America suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. This severe affection causes sections of amyloid proteins to accumulate inside brain tissues, while these infiltrations affect and eventually destroy the entire nervous system.

This chronic disease also results in lack of synapses, these being the areas between nerves through where tissues communicate one to another and create our memories. Current Alzheimer’s medication can only alleviate symptoms without avoiding the illness’ development. New cures are required to stop this medical condition by focusing on its actual mechanisms.

Can a melanoma cure actually improve an affected memory? In cases of severe dementia, as in Alzheimer complications, all brain cells shrink and eventually die. However, the new analysis shows that there could be a new purpose for this cancer drug, known as RGFP966, to help Alzheimer sufferers. There are still no efficient therapies available that can reverse this awful brain degeneration.

The effects of HDAC have been amazing, since they helped human nerves to become more versatile, regenerated synapses and influenced the patients’ memory in a favorable way. RGFP966 proved that, when applied to lab mice, it made the animals a lot more attentive to what they were listening to.  The tested rats have been able to remember additional details and created new nervous links that permitted these remembrances to be passed on between brain tissues.

The mice, after being administrated the testing substances, were seen to have better memory preservation and were capable to react properly to audio stimuli. Their results have been highly superior in comparison to a control group of animals that did not take the medication.

In addition, the rats were more attuned with the important sound alerts that they heard during their training period. This is an important discovery and neurologists say that the mind can work better and can store important sounds that are essential for daily conversations and our language.

The medication might also be valuable to individuals who suffer from speech complications, such as patients who are learning to speak again after a physical impairment or illness. The recently renewed capability to recognize sounds helped all creatures’ brains to make new associations inside their cells and helped them significantly to repair long-term memory.

An experimental drug based on RGFP966 is already created in specialized laboratories, after further improvements and analysis on tested animals. This preliminary study is needed for safety in people, so the experts’ capability to explore such scientific resources will be now more effective.
