Zatolmilast Shows Promise in Treating Fragile X Syndrome

• Zatolmilast, an experimental drug, has shown potential in improving cognitive and social functions in individuals with Fragile X syndrome. • A 2021 study indicated that zatolmilast improved memory and language skills in adult males with Fragile X over a 12-week period. • Two ongoing larger studies are evaluating zatolmilast's efficacy, potentially leading to the first FDA-approved treatment for Fragile X syndrome. • The drug targets an enzyme involved in memory and cognitive impairment, offering a new approach to managing Fragile X symptoms.
