28-Site Trial Studying Chinese Herb as Alzheimer’s Treatment

---

Omschrijving
Researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center’s Memory Disorders Program are directing the first U.S. study to determine whether huperzine A, derived from the Chinese club moss plant Huperzia serrata, improves cognitive function in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study, which is recruiting participants at 28 sites across the country, is jointly funded by the National Institutes of Health and Neuro-Hitech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Huperzine A, a naturally occurring cholinesterase inhibitor, has been used in Chinese folk medicine for the treatment of fevers and inflammation. Although also commonly used in China to treat Alzheimer’s, there have been no controlled clinical trials assessing its toxicity and efficacy outside of China. Chinese studies have suggested that huperzine A is well tolerated and effective.
