UPDATED: Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. to Expand Development Programs Beyond Neurology

Company to Pursue Technologies to Improve Brain Function, Muscle Strength, Bone Health, and Other Longevity Indicators

NEW YORK, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLTO) (the "Company" or "Klotho") announced that it is evaluating the acquisition of several complementary technologies aimed at supporting healthy brain function, organ health, and longevity.

In addition to its core programs targeting brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, the Company is now seeking to expand into adjacent technologies that complement its proprietary anti-aging Klotho platform. The goal is to slow biological aging and reduce the burden of age-related diseases—ultimately promoting a longer, healthier life.

"As announced previously, we've begun manufacturing and development of KLTO-101 and KLTO-202," said Klotho CEO Dr. Joseph Sinkule. "We're also exploring other treatments that could support healthy aging and extend human longevity."

The human Klotho gene is strongly linked to aging and longevity. Klotho levels decline with age, contributing to age-related disorders such as cardiometabolic disease, neurodegeneration, cancer, sarcopenia (muscle wasting), osteoporosis, and general fatigue. Silencing of the Klotho gene has been shown to accelerate multi-organ deterioration.

"The Klotho gene is what we call a master gene," stated Shalom Hirschman, M.D., world-renowned physician and senior consultant to the Company. "The Klotho gene has pleotropic actions modulating many critical cellular pathways including insulin resistance, insulin-like growth factor-1, FOXO3 transcription factors, and Wnt signaling pathways leading to the reduction of inflammatory and mitochondrial oxidative stresses and other cell-damaging mechanisms that can be prevented by two alpha-Klotho protein isoforms – soluble Klotho and secreted-Klotho."

"We're assembling a team of scientists, clinicians, and business leaders focused on identifying key longevity indicators," said Jeffrey LeBlanc, Klotho CFO. "This includes evaluating genes and proteins such as alpha-Klotho, beta-Klotho, FOXO3, anti-myostatin, and their isoforms."

Dr. Sinkule added, "If people don't die of cancer or trauma, they often succumb to age-related diseases of the brain, heart, kidneys, liver, bone, or muscle. Our mission is to identify and develop complementary assets to delay these outcomes through targeted research and intervention."
