About Anavex Life Sciences Corp.
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: AVXL) is a
publicly traded biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the
development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of
neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, 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 (blarcamesine),
has successfully completed a Phase 2a and a Phase 2b/3 clinical
trial for Alzheimer's disease, a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in
Parkinson's disease dementia, and both a Phase 2 and a Phase 3
study in adult patients with Rett syndrome. 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 clinical stage
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
mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Further
