RE: KB note

Hi Kei,

There is an entry in the Drugs in Clinical Trials section of Alzforum on
Huperzine A http://www.alzforum.org/drg/drc/detail.asp?id=53. The drug is
currently in Phase IV clinical trial in China and phase II in the US.  Its
proposed actions are linked to many of the AD hypotheses, and I would think
that if there are sources on research on herbs that could provide more
insight, it would be of interest to the community.

Best,

Elizabeth

Hi Tim et al.,

I think it would be great if more details about SWAN can be added. The HCLS
ecosystem consists of scientists, patients, doctors, government agencies,
publishers, etc. Creating/maintaining a balance in this digital age across
national boundaries is challenging/interesting.

Speaking of national boundaries, I wonder if alternative medicine (e.g.,
herbal
medicine) would also be of interest to this community. For example,
Huperzine
is a drug derived from the herb Huperzia serrata. I also wonder if there are
hypotheses regarding the study of herbs in the possible treatment of
neurological diseases.

Thanks,

-Kei
