About NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ)
NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (www.neurovive.com), a leading mitochondrial medicine company, is developing a portfolio of products to treat acute cardiovascular and neurological conditions through mitochondrial protection.
NeuroVive´s products are based on development of cyclophilin inhibitors derived from different chemistry platforms. The drugs work by preventing the death of mitochondria in distressed cells and the subsequent cascade of intracellular biochemical events that lead to secondary tissue damage following an acute cardiac or traumatic brain injury.
NeuroVive’s lead product is CicloMulsion®, the first cyclophilin inhibitor for the treatment of reperfusion injuries following cardiac stenting. CicloMulsion® is currently in a 1000 patient Phase III clinical trial evaluating its ability to reduce reperfusion injuries in patients with myocardial infarction.
NeuroVive is also developing NeuroSTAT®, a cyclophilin inhibitor, which is entering a Phase IIa clinical trial in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Both indications have huge medical need and for which there are currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment options. Both CicloMulsion® and NeuroSTAT® are special formulations of cyclosporine for use in acute cardiac and brain injury indications.
NeuroVive’s pipeline includes novel cyclophilin inhibitors, and drug candidates that act on mitochondria to address energy regulation disorders.
