HYDERABAD, INDIA (Mar 16, 2015) - Suven Life Sciences Ltd (Suven) announced today that they secured patents in USA (8912179) and New Zealand (614567) to one of their New Chemical Entity (NCE) for CNS therapy through new mechanism of action – H3 Inverse agonist and these patents are valid until 2030 and 2031 respectively. The granted claims of the patent include the class of selective H3 ligands discovered by Suven and are being developed as therapeutic agents and are useful in the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with neurodegenerative disorders.
Histaminargic dysfunction has been strongly associated with the cognitive and behavioral deficits observed in several CNS disorders. H3 receptor blockade elevates acetylcholine in brain regions responsible for cognition, thus offer a means for targeting cognitive processes. Novel, potent, selective, brain penetrant and orally active H 3 receptor inverse agonist for the treatment of cognitive deficits would offer new line of treatment for this unmet medical need.
With these new patents, Suven has a total of twenty (20) granted patents from USA and twenty three (23) granted patents from New Zealand. These granted patents are exclusive intellectual property of Suven and are achieved through the internal discovery research efforts. Products out of these inventions may be out-licensed at various phases of clinical development like at Phase-I or Phase-II.
“We are very pleased by the grant of these patents to Suven for our pipeline of molecules in CNS arena that are being developed for cognitive disorders with high unmet medical need with huge market potential globally” says Venkat Jasti, CEO of Suven.
Suven Life Science is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel pharmaceutical products, which are first in class or best in class CNS therapies through the use of GPCR targets. The Company has eleven (11) internally-discovered therapeutic drug candidates currently in pre-clinical stage of development targeting conditions such as ADHD, dementia, depression, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and obesity in addition to Phase 2 ready developmental candidate SUVN-502 for and Phase1 candidate SUVN-G3031 for Alzheimer’s disease and Schizophrenia.
