Abrégé

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for the synthesis of an ester derivative of acetoacetate. The method includes providing a first ester of acetoacetate and providing an alcohol. The method further includes combining the first ester of acetoacetate and the alcohol in the presence of an enzyme capable of transesterification in a non-aqueous solvent to form the ester derivative of acetoacetate. The method results in the formation of the ester derivative of acetoacetate, which, in one embodiment, is monoacetoacetin.

Abrégé

This invention relates to the field of therapeutic agents for the treatment of Age-Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI). In particular, the present invention utilizes compositions comprising at least one compound capable of elevating ketone body concentrations in a mammal (e.g., ketogenic compounds), administered in an amount effective for treatment or prevention of loss of cognitive function caused by reduced neuronal metabolism in AAMI. In one embodiment, the composition includes medium chain triglycerides (MCT). In another embodiment, the compositions are administered in the presence of carbohydrate. The present invention also relates to oral dosage forms, in particular, a nutritional drink comprising at least one compound capable of elevating ketone body concentrations in a mammal.
