About Anavex Life Sciences Corp.
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq:AVXL) is a
publicly traded biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the
development of differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of
neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases including
Alzheimer’s disease, other central nervous system (CNS) diseases,
pain and various types of cancer. Anavex’s lead drug candidate,
ANAVEX®2-73, recently completed a successful a Phase 2a clinical
trial for Alzheimer’s disease. ANAVEX®2-73 is an orally available
drug candidate that restores cellular homeostasis by targeting
sigma-1 and muscarinic receptors. Preclinical studies demonstrated
its potential to halt and/or reverse the course of Alzheimer’s
disease. It has also exhibited anticonvulsant, anti-amnesic,
neuroprotective and anti-depressant properties in animal models,
indicating its potential to treat additional CNS disorders,
including epilepsy. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s
Research has awarded Anavex a research grant to develop ANAVEX®2-73
for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The grant fully funds a
preclinical study, which could justify moving ANAVEX®2-73 into a
Parkinson’s disease clinical trial. ANAVEX®3-71, also targeting
sigma-1 and M1 muscarinic receptors, is a promising preclinical
drug candidate demonstrating disease modifications against the
major Alzheimer’s hallmarks in transgenic (3xTg-AD) mice, including
cognitive deficits, amyloid and tau pathologies, and also with
beneficial effects on neuroinflammation and mitochondrial
dysfunctions. Further information is available at www.anavex.com.
