Cleveland Clinic-Led Research Supports Repurposing Sildenafil (Viagra) For Alzheimer’s Treatment
New Cleveland Clinic-led research points to sildenafil (Viagra) as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The study provides evidence from computational models, insurance claims data and observations from brain cells in Alzheimer’s patients. Sildenafil is the main component of drugs...

"In brain cells from Alzheimer’s patients, researchers also showed that sildenafil lowers levels of neurotoxic tau proteins, which are known to be associated with Alzheimer’s disease when they build up. They also found that neurons treated with sildenafil expressed genes related to cell growth, improved brain function, reduced inflammation and other processes known to protect against the neural degeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease."
