Neuronascent (NNI) is a small corporation, that we believe has an over-sized opportunity to improve the well-being of millions of patients suffering from chronic neurodegenerative disorders that lack any disease-modifying therapeutic options. As we move toward this goal, we have built a strong track record of meeting critical drug-development milestones, which is of importance to investors and future pharmaceutical partners. Using a novel screening process developed by Neuronascent, the Company was able to identify small molecule therapeutics that generated new neurons in the brain and ensured that these new neurons survived to functionality under neurodegenerative conditions. These small molecule candidates proved successful not only on human neuronal progenitors in a lab dish, but showed the same capacity in animal models of chronic neurological diseases. NNI's synthetic therapeutic candidates are optimized and patented. These orally available candidates have been found to be safe in all testing to date. Our lead candidate for Alzheimer’s and potentially for Parkinson’s disease, has completed in first-in-human testing (Phase 1a), with no significate safety concerns for this therapeutic in healthy aged subjects. The Company is based in Clarksville, Maryland, United States.
