CVN424 is a first-in-class non-dopamine therapy that selectively modulates GPR6, an orphan G-protein coupled receptor, which is investigated for the treatment option for individuals with early-stage Parkinson’s disease.
CVN293 is an investigational, potent, and selective inhibitor of KCNK13 and has been implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and severe age-related macular degeneration.
The financing will support upcoming clinical trials focused on Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and schizophrenia including CVN424, a first-in-class, oral, brain penetrant, non-dopaminergic, GPR6 inverse agonist in Phase 2 trial for Parkinson’s disease.
CVN766 is a potent antagonist of the Ox1R with high selectivity over Ox2R (>1000 fold). Ox1R has genetic links to domains of psychiatric disorders and is expressed in areas of the brain important for regulating emotion, fear, anxiety and motivation.
CN101248, the first selective small molecule THIK-1 inhibitor, attacks neuroinflammation via THIK-1 and have observed beneficial effects on neuroinflammation with this compound.
C101248, Cerevance’s novel inhibitor, demonstrated a concentration-dependent inhibition of the protein in human and mouse cells expressing THIK-1 with similar potency and maximum effect as measured by thalium assays and patch-clamp experiments.
CVN424 showed a 1.3-hour improvement in OFF time compared to placebo (p=0.042) at four weeks. This was accompanied by an increase in ON time without Troublesome Dyskinesia, without a meaningful worsening of ON time with Troublesome Dyskinesia.
