in is an important pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Further studies are ongoing to confirm these exciting findings. Thus, Exebryl-1(R) may be the first orally bioavailable small molecule drug that affects both amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangle accumulation, the two major characteristic and pathological lesions of Alzheimer's disease.
