neflamapimod for inhibition of cytokine production (Duffy, 2011), and correlates well with dose/concentration-response seen for episodic memory in the human clinical studies. Conclusions: The findings provide the first evidence that p38a antagonism could be a means to therapeutically target Alzheimer-related endosomal dysfunction. Further, the correlation between in vitro potency of neflamapomid on reversing endolysosomal dysfunction with clinical dose-response suggests that this pharmacological effect, rather than anti-inflammatory activity, may underlie the clinical activity of neflamapimod on episodic memory.
