Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. NEUP

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing therapies that address the complex needs of individuals affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuphoria is advancing its lead drug candidate, BNC210, an oral, proprietary, selective negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine ("ACh") receptor ("a7 receptor") for the acute, "as needed" treatment of social anxiety disorder ("SAD") and for chronic treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"). There remains a significant unmet medical need for the over 27 million patients in the United States alone suffering from SAD and PTSD. BNC210 is a first-of-its-kind, well-tolerated, broad spectrum anti-anxiety experimental therapeutic, designed to restore neurotransmitter balance in relevant brain areas, providing rapid relief from stress and anxiety symptoms without the common pitfalls of sedation, cognitive impairment, or addiction. In addition, Neuphoria has a strategic partnership with Merck & Co., Inc., known as Merck outside the United States and Canada, with two drugs in early-stage clinical trials for the treatment of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease and other central nervous system ("CNS") conditions. Neuphoria's pipeline also includes the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor next generation and the Kv3.1/3.2 preclinical programs, both in the lead optimization development stage.
