Alpha Cognition, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, operating within the healthcare sector, specifically in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. The company's primary business revolves around addressing unmet medical needs in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and cognitive impairment with mTBI. The company's major product is ZUNVEYL, an oral tablet formulation approved for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. ZUNVEYL is a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor designed to minimize gastrointestinal side effects and is differentiated by its active metabolite binding to neuronal nicotinic receptors. In addition to ZUNVEYL, Alpha Cognition has several pre-clinical development programs including ZUNVEYL in combination with memantine, ALPHA-1062 in sublingual and intranasal formulations, and ALPHA-0602, ALPHA-0702, and ALPHA-0802 programs for the treatment of other neurodegenerative diseases.

In the past year, Alpha Cognition has maintained a positive outlook from analysts, with a consensus "Buy" rating. Analysts generally favor Alpha Cognition over other "medical" companies. However, the company has been described as "relatively unknown" to the investment public, with low average trading volume. Despite this, clinician feedback on ZUNVEYL has been positive, validating its potential as an important therapeutic option in the long-term care segment. The company has also presented compelling data at medical meetings throughout the year regarding ZUNVEYL's impact on cognition and behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer's patients.
