Opportunity + development

Known compounds.
A new route into the brain.

Bisphosphonates have been used for years in osteoporosis. Salz is investigating whether selected compounds can also reach the brain and influence biological processes relevant to Alzheimer's disease.

The REBIND programme compares three candidates, selects the strongest one or two for further development and prepares the route towards early clinical validation in humans.

Access by design

Existing medicines can create a more efficient starting point.

Salz starts with compounds that already have a history of human use. The aim is to use that existing knowledge to build a more efficient development route while keeping future patient access part of partnering and commercial decisions.

Candidate selection + Phase I

From brain penetration to human validation.

The programme will select the strongest candidate or candidates, prepare the required product supply and test whether the compounds reach human cerebrospinal fluid in an early clinical study.
