Interesting article, but they don't mention which drug(s) they used...
I wonder if someone in longecity knows ?

I don't know what drugs they used but presumably you could look on PubMed for those researchers names and it should be one of their more recent papers. I'll do that but it will be this evening at earliest.

Angiotensin receptor blockers like Losartan are used for hypertension, and also reduce brain inflammation and improve AD symptoms in lab animals.

I found that :

The full paper is behind a paywall...
They talk about therapeutic inhibition of TGFβ signaling.
I'll look into this and post my findings here.
It appears from the full paper that the drug is IPW-5371. See this preprint: https://www.biorxiv....537431.full.pdf
It's a TGFβR inhibitor, and natural inhibitors are known--
We investigated whether EGCG and myricetin could decrease the TGFβR1 expression in HepG2 and PC3 cells. After 48 h of treatment with EGCG and myricetin, determine the mRNA expression of TGFβR1 by using RT-PCR. As shown in Figure 4, RTPCR demonstrates that EGCG have a prospective for forceful inhibition of TGFβR1. The RT-PCR densitometric bands examination showed that EGCG reduced the mRNA expression of TGFβR1 by 15% in HepG2 (*P<0.05) and 70% (**p<0.001) in PC3 cells at 80 μM concentration. Whereas, RTPCR densitometric bands investigation showed that myricetin reduced the mRNA expression of TGFβR1 by 20% in HepG2 (*P<0.05) and 80% (**p<0.001) in PC3 cells at 80 μM concentrations.
Myricetin greatly increased the number of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons and improved learning and memory impairments in rats with Alzheimer's disease. These findings suggest that myricetin is beneficial for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

I'd previously included Dihydromyricetin in my AD protocol.
