About Cethrin®
Cethrin® has been granted orphan drug status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2005. Cethrin's® active ingredient, BA-210, is a recombinant protein which acts as a Rho GTPase antagonist to promote neuroprotection and neuroregeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). It has been designed by BioAxone to effectively penetrate into CNS tissue, where it has been clearly shown to elicit the rescue and repair of damaged neurons in BioAxone's preclinical research models.
