Bezisterim (NE3107) is an analog of androstenetriol that is believed to have anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects in the brain. The compound crosses the blood-brain barrier and does not activate any neurotransmitter receptors.[1] It has been tested as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease[2] [3] [4] [5] and traumatic brain injury.[6]
