Jupiter Neurosciences and Aquanova AG Announce Strategic Collaboration to Develop Longevity and Healthspan Products
March 04 2025 - 8:00AM
Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: JUNS) (“Jupiter” or the
“Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing
JOTROL™, a patented resveratrol-based platform, today announced a
strategic partnership with Aquanova AG to jointly develop a series
of consumer-focused nutritional products targeting longevity,
aging, and healthspan.
“As we explore new ways to translate our
scientific discoveries into tangible health solutions, we see an
immense opportunity in the longevity and healthspan market,” said
Christer Rosén, Chairman & CEO of Jupiter Neurosciences.
“Aquanova has been an exceptional technology partner, and their
expertise in formulation and execution will be instrumental in this
venture. We believe that our pharmaceutical-driven approach and the
strong clinical foundation behind JOTROL™ provide a unique
advantage in delivering high-quality, effective products to
consumers.”
Jupiter and Aquanova have collaborated for over
eight years in the development of Jupiter’s lead product, JOTROL™,
a proprietary resveratrol-based formulation currently advancing
toward a Phase IIa trial in Parkinson’s Disease. Based on the
extensive preclinical and clinical data supporting JOTROL™’s
potential in central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, the companies are now leveraging their
combined expertise to expand into the rapidly growing longevity and
healthspan market.
The jointly developed products will focus on the
concept of “Beauty from Within,” emphasizing scientifically backed
formulations designed to support longevity and overall health. The
first three products are expected to launch in Q3 2025 through a
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) model, providing an immediate commercial
pathway while Jupiter continues its clinical development
efforts.
"We are incredibly proud of our partnership with
Jupiter and look forward to the work they are doing to bring
life-changing solutions for rare and difficult-to-treat diseases to
market in the medicinal sphere and for superior supplement products
targeting longevity and healthspan," said Frank Behnam, CEO of
Aquanova. "Resveratrol is a powerful ingredient but it suffers from
bioavailability and absorption challenges. Our NovaSOL™ technology
ensures that resveratrol safely reaches effective levels in the
body, without GI-side effects, creating reliable health solutions
in many indications."
As part of this initiative, Jupiter plans to
launch these products under a new wholly owned subsidiary, allowing
existing shareholders to participate in the commercial success of
the venture. This subsidiary is expected to generate revenue which
will support Jupiter’s ongoing pharmaceutical trials.
“We frequently hear from individuals interested
in accessing JOTROL™ immediately, particularly those with personal
connections to neurodegenerative diseases,” Rosén added. “Like
many, I have seen the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s firsthand. This initiative not only represents a
strategic business expansion but also a meaningful step in
addressing a growing consumer demand for science-backed solutions
in aging and healthspan.”

About JOTROL
Resveratrol is one of the world’s most
extensively researched molecules. Thorough evaluation has shown
that for the compound to be effective, it requires a high C-Max
(~300 ng/ml of resveratrol in plasma), achievable only with doses
exceeding 3 grams using earlier resveratrol products. Poor
bioavailability has been a well-documented issue with resveratrol.
Doses over 2 grams have been associated with severe
gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, which have prevented the
compound from receiving regulatory approval for any indication.
Jupiter Neurosciences (JUNS) conducted a Phase I
study demonstrating that JOTROL achieves over nine times higher
bioavailability compared to resveratrol used in earlier clinical
trials (e.g., Turner et al., MCI/Early Alzheimer’s Disease trial,
and Yui et al., Friedreich’s Ataxia trial). The results of this
Phase I study, which will be cross-referenced in all upcoming
JOTROL trials, were published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease
and AAPS Open in February 2022. JUNS is now advancing JOTROL toward
a Phase IIa trial in Parkinson’s Disease.
