MedKoo Cat#: 530316 | Name: FK960

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

FK-960, also known as FK-59960, is a drug potentially for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). FK962 is also a novel enhancer of somatostatin release, which exerts cognitive-enhancing actions in rats. FK960, a potential anti-dementia drug, increases synaptic density in the hippocampal CA3 region of aged rats. FK960 ameliorates the memory deficits in rats through a novel mechanism of action.
