Anavex reports ANAVEX 2-73 blocks Tau and Amyloid-Beta Proteins in a Preclinical Model of Alzheimer's Disease
PR Newswire - Mon Nov 04, 6:30AM CST
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. ("Anavex" or the "Company") (OTCQB: AVXL) announces that issue 38 (2013) of the international scientific journal Neuropsychopharmacology contains a report demonstrating that ANAVEX 2-73 dose-dependently blocks Tau and amyloid-beta ("amyloid") proteins and memory deficit in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A reduction in these two main hallmarks of Alzheimer's has the potential to stop, slow or reverse the disease. The report also suggests that, because it is targeting the mixed muscarinic and Sigma-1 receptors, ANAVEX 2-73 is able to achieve its effect further "upstream" in the Alzheimer's disease cascade. This compares to most other current AD clinical development compounds that are mainly downstream and single-targeted approaches, which might be limited by adverse effects. More interestingly, themixed muscarinic and Sigma-1 agonist ANAVEX 2-73 exhibited powerful effects despite its moderate affinity for these receptors, emphasizing its great advantage for potential therapy in Alzheimer's disease.
