Potential Medical Uses[edit | edit source]

These could include conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, where cognitive function is often impaired. However, as of 2010, WAY-208466 has not been developed for medical use.
Development Status[edit | edit source]
As of 2010, WAY-208466 has not been developed for medical use. It has been researched in preclinical studies, but it has not been tested in humans. The reasons for this are not clear, but it may be due to difficulties in drug development, such as problems with safety or efficacy.
