Evidence from a mouse model supports repurposing an anti-asthmatic drug, bambuterol, against Alzheimer’s disease by administration through an intranasal route by Anne-Claire Groo, Thomas Curel, Aurélie Malzert-Fréon, Line Séguy, Ophélie Bento, Sophie Corvaisier, Thomas Culerier, Romain Legrand, Noëlle Callizot, Alexandre Henriques, Georgia Culley, Sylvie Claeysen, Christophe Rochais, Patrick Dallemagne

“…Indeed, even if the latter is more selective than other β2-mimetics towards bronchial β2-AR, cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, arrhythmias…) could occur upon cardiac β1-AR activation. Finally, intranasal administration of low doses of bambuterol gel in mice intoxicated with Aβ peptides, prevented long-term spatial memory impairment and showed beneficial effects on the survival of neurons and on synapse preservation.…”
