Acenta Discover Inc. has signed a license agreement with Wake Forest to use its patented memory-aiding technology based on a combination of huperzine A—a compound found in the Chinese club moss plant—and soy products. Acenta will use the license to develop a “nutraceutical”… to slow memory loss, said Alan Kozikowski, Acenta’s founder and CEO…Long used medicinally in China, huperzine A already is being used in that country to treat Alzheimer’s disease. In the U.S., huperzine A is sold over-the-counter in nutritional supplements advertised as memory aids. But they typically don’t contain enough of the compound to work and may not use pure enough compounds, Kozikowski said.
