About InMed's INM-901 for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease: INM-901 is a small molecule drug candidate being developed as a potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease. INM-901 demonstrates multiple pharmacological effects in preclinical studies including neuroprotective effects, an ability to extend the length of neurites which is important for brain cell-to-cell communication, as well as a reduction in neuroinflammation. These preclinical studies were conducted in well-characterized study models of Alzheimer's disease.
