Potentiates HGF/c-Met signaling to promote synaptogenesis, neuronal spine formation, and new synaptic connections. Oral bioavailability. Crosses blood-brain barrier.
No approved use. ZERO human clinical trials. Not recommended for clinical use given cancer pathway concern and abandoned development.
CRITICAL: Active cancer or cancer history — HGF/c-Met pathway is directly involved in tumor progression and metastasis.
ZERO human clinical trials. Preclinical cognitive effects in impaired animals only. Abandoned by developers. ADDF: no human research data.
