Enveric Biosciences Inc. has named EB-003 as its lead drug candidate from the company’s next-generation EVM301 series. EB-003 was selected based on data analyses suggesting the molecule’s potential to be a first-in-class approach to addressing difficult-to-treat mental health disorders by promoting neuroplasticity without inducing hallucinations.
Dysregulation of the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is involved in hereditary angioedema (HA) pathophysiology; thus, the inhibition of factor XIIa (FXIIa), a central mediator of angioedema and initiator of KKS, is a therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat HA attacks.
If we unraveled the DNA of the 46 chromosomes of a single human cell, it would barely measure 2 meters. If we did the same with the rest of the body, if we aligned the 3 billion base pairs of its 5 trillion cells, we could travel the distance from the Earth to the Sun more than 100 times. It seems unreachable. However, that is the unit of knowledge of the large sequencing projects achieved in 2023. From the generation of the human pangenome to cell-by-cell maps of the brain and kidneys, scientists this year have completed several omics collaborative projects stored in large international databases. Now, what’s the plan?
Are you trying to stay on top of developments in CAR T therapies? Drug resistance? Emerging compounds? Updates from certain regulatory agencies? Want to be the first to learn about new biomarkers or business deals? You can still find these articles in the daily BioWorld e-newsletters or on the website, but if you’re laser-focused on a specific topic, we have a way to highlight the news you need as it happens, whether we’ve published a full-length feature story or a brief update. You asked and we listened. Now, in addition to the daily news lineup, you can create topic alerts to be delivered directly to your inbox or via an RSS reader. It’s easy to set up.
