Experimental Alzheimer’s drug could reduce alcohol withdrawal damage, researchers say
Researchers at the University of Kentucky have found that an experimental Alzheimer's drug, MW150, may help reduce brain inflammation associated with alcohol withdrawal. The drug targets a specific inflammation pathway and has shown promise in laboratory and animal-model studies. This research suggests that MW150 could potentially mitigate the risks of relapse in individuals with alcohol use disorder.
- ▪MW150 is an investigational drug designed to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
- ▪The drug was found to reduce inflammatory markers during alcohol withdrawal in laboratory and animal-model experiments.
- ▪Scientists believe that neuroinflammation contributes to relapse risk and long-term neurological damage in people with alcohol use disorder.
