Post# of 85
Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a company focused on developing unique, life-saving medical products, today announced the formation of Odyssey Neuropharma Inc. According to the update, the wholly owned subsidiary will focus on developing drugs to treat neurological disorders. The blood-brain barrier (“BBB”) represents a significant obstacle for drug delivery to the brain, and many drugs have failed in neuroscience research due to the inability to jump the hurdle that is the BBB. Odyssey will utilize its unique intranasal delivery device coupled with its powdered formulations to allow drugs to be delivered more directly to the brain, providing for quick and efficient delivery. The targeted approach requires less drug to accomplish neuroprotection, further reducing drug levels in the plasma and minimizing side effects. The company has a portfolio of products planned for development, including drugs for mild traumatic brain injury aka concussion, Niemann-Pick type C disease, and an organophosphate nerve agent antidote.
