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, Parkinson’s disease, Rett syndrome and other
central nervous system (CNS) diseases, pain and various types of
cancer. Anavex’s lead drug candidate, ANAVEX®2-73, recently
completed a successful 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. ANAVEX®2-73 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 previously
awarded Anavex a research grant, which fully funded a preclinical
study to develop ANAVEX®2-73 for the treatment of Parkinson’s
disease. ANAVEX®3-71, which targets sigma-1 and M1 muscarinic
receptors, is a promising preclinical drug candidate demonstrating
disease-modifying activity against the major hallmarks of
Alzheimer’s disease in transgenic (3xTg-AD) mice, including
cognitive deficits, amyloid and tau pathologies. In preclinical
trials, ANAVEX®3-71 has shown beneficial effects on
neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Further
