Potentially Distinct Brain Profile: Across multiple brain regions, AL001 and lithium carbonate appeared to trend in opposite directions in brain chemistry measures, suggesting that AL001 may interact with the brain in a distinct manner and generate a lower neurochemical footprint than lithium carbonate Expected Trends for Myo-Inositol Reduction : Both AL001 and lithium carbonate showed a trend toward reducing myo-inositol, potentially supporting the hypothesis that AL001 retains lithium's core mechanism of action Potentially Preserved Glutamate Balance: Lithium carbonate showed large effects across all brain regions whereas AL001 showed minimal glutamate effect in most brain regions, which may suggest better long-term tolerability ATLANTA, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) ("Alzamend"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease ("Alzheimer's"), bipolar disorder type 1 ("BD"), major depressive disorder ("MDD") and post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), today announced encouraging pharmacodynamic findings from a brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy ("MRS") analysis conducted in healthy human subjects (N=6) in a trial conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital. The study assessed changes in five key brain metabolites across 18 brain regions when participants received two-weeks of blood bioequivalent and lithium-dose equivalent AL001 or lithium carbonate relative to baseline.

Bioequivalence Confirmed: AL001 delivered 101% of total lithium blood exposure and 97% of peak lithium levels vs. standard lithium carbonate Superior Brain Penetration: AL001 showed numerically higher lithium concentrations in all measured brain regions , including whole brain Faster Brain Uptake: AL001 reached peak brain concentration in 6.7 hours vs.

Head-to-head studies of AL001 versus marketed lithium carbonate will compare lithium blood and brain/brain-structure pharmacokinetics in bipolar disorder type 1 patients Topline data expected in third quarter of 2026 Topline data from the clinically completed "lithium in brain" imaging study in healthy subjects expected by the end of March 2026 ATLANTA, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) ("Alzamend"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease ("Alzheimer's"), bipolar disorder ("BD"), major depressive disorder ("MDD") and post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), today announced the initiation of its Phase II clinical trial evaluating AL001 in patients diagnosed with BD type 1. The trial is being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital ("MGH") and represents a significant step toward advancement of AL001 as a potentially safer and more effective lithium-based therapy.
Alzamend Neuro, Inc., an early clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, focuses on developing various products for the treatment of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. The company's pipeline includes AL001 that is in Phase II clinical trial, which delivers a therapeutic combination of lithium, proline, and salicylate for the treatment of Alzheimer's, bi-polar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, other neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric disorders; and AL002 that completed preclinical stage, which uses a method using a mutant-peptide sensitized cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine to restore the ability of a patient's immunological system to combat Alzheimer's disease. Alzamend Neuro, Inc. was incorporated in 2016 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
