deCODE files IND for Alzheimer's & other cognitive disorders

deCODE genetics announced the filing of an investigational new drug (IND) application for DG071, the company's novel small-molecule modulator of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The compound is being developed as a new and potentially safer means of targeting PDE4 to combat memory loss and cognitive deficits associated with Alzheimer's disease and other disorders in which neural signalling is reduced or impaired.
