According to Dr. Trevor P. Castor, President and CEO, Aphios Corporation: “This novel Bryoid, Bryostatin-23, is a highly potent nanomolar activator of α-secretase activity in neuroblastoma cell models, being more effective than the canonical Bryostatin-1 at increasing activity of all protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, particularly the novel PKC isoforms, delta and epsilon. It thus has a higher therapeutic efficacy than Bryostatin-1.”
