Naason Science developing models of PTSD

Published 2021-07-16 


PTSD is a serious condition that can lead to intense fear, anxiety and depression. Current medication is unspecific, ineffective and has a vast number of side effects (sedation, abuse potential, sexual dysfunction). As a result, many people continue to suffer from PTSD in spite of current treatment options, indicating a critical need for new treatments.


One limiting factor in the development of treatment for PTSD is the lack of valid, translational models. Naason Science has been developing models of PTSD in the rat and has initiated a development program in a larger animal - the minipig, based on a multi-faceted prolonged stress paradigm, so as to test the efficacy of new compounds.

NAASON SCIENCE soars and passes THE 100 Study Mark

The ability to conduct and effectively ramp up operations during the COVID-19 crisis has made Naason Science one of the most dependable CRO’s on the globe.


Osong, South Korea, June 22nd, 2020  

 

The global COVID-19 crisis is far from over but as populations around the world come to terms with the damage done and begin to repair and rebuild their personal and professional lives Naason Science stands at the front of drug discovery and development not having missed a beat.


During the COVID crisis Naason Science managed to initiate and complete more studies than perhaps any other global CRO. The research and development platform completed its validation of research models in the areas of AMD, DMD, ALS and diseases associated with chronic pain. What is perhaps more important was the fact that the Naason Science contribution to very important consortiums concerning PTSD and specific gene therapies was unbroken and all results and milestones were met during the crisis.


When Naason Science was formed the founders had a vision that the next generation of preclinical services would entail cutting edge technologies and models that provided greater insight and translatability to human diseases. However, in these times of crisis, we have also added to that vision the quality of dependability in the delivering of services in unforeseen and challenging circumstances. Naason Science believes that all lives matter – that is why we work so hard – in these times of global strife Naason Science will stand by its commitment to our collaborators and clients. We will stand by our staff and we will not compromise on our endeavour to create a workplace and a world that is inclusive and diverse.  


In a final word we would like to say that we, the staff, scientists, and researchers of Naason Science stand by the need for diversity and understanding in todays world. We want to watch our families grow and prosper along with everyone else in a world that is based on understanding and inclusion. We will speak out against injustice whenever we see it -  whether it be racial or otherwise.


Peace and Warmth to All and #blacklivesmatter

Naason Science sends out its hopes that everyone takes all of the prescribed precautions and stays as safe as possible at this time. Nevertheless, we would also like to assure all of our local and global collaborators that we are not experiencing any disruption in business at this time. In many ways, the Korean people and the Korean health authorities have worked admirably to cope with the outbreak of COVID-19, and this has resulted in no disruptions in Naason Science´s ability to maintain its study schedules. 


We remain vigilant and carry out all precautions in order to protect ourselves, our co-workers as well as our families and fellow citizens while, at the same time, we stay mindful of the fact that the work that we carry out in conjunction with our collaborators and our partners is of the ultimate importance to their aspirations. In the event that there would be a change in our current situation, we will contact all of our collaborators, clients and partners immediately and directly.


Since many of our ongoing projects have an effect on the health and wellbeing of people, we remain committed to all of the work that we are performing and, in fact, have ramped up our capabilities to accommodate additional investigations.

€4.85 million Eurostar grant for the Consortium

Naason Science to be part of Consortium to receive Eurostars grant

Osong, South Korea, July 10, 2019 - Addex Therapeutics announced July 9 that it will lead a consortium for the development of small-molecule negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) targeting the metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7) as a potential treatment to reduce fear memory in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The project, named DiSARM FEAR, has been awarded a €4.85 million Eurostars grant to cover research activities performed by all participants, including Naason Science (South Korea), Endotherm (Germany), Nucro Technics (Canada) and Radboud University (Netherlands), in addition to Addex.


PTSD is a serious anxiety disorder that can lead to intense fear and anxiety. Current medication is unspecific and ineffective, with a number of side effects. By selectively targeting mGlu7 with NAMs, the brain circuitries involved in fear and anxiety can be precisely modulated, potentially resulting in higher efficacy and fewer side effects.


The project will capitalize on the significant discovery and preclinical investigations already achieved at Addex, including preclinical studies performed using ADX71743, a prototypical selective mGlu7 receptor NAM identified and characterized by Addex (Kalinichev et al. 2013. J.Pharmcol.Exp. Ther. 344, 624-636). Published and unpublished data generated with this compound in preclinical models demonstrates the central role of mGlu7 receptors in key processes involved in fear memory. The DiSARM FEAR project aims to generate novel mGlu7 NAMs ready to enter IND enabling studies within 3 years.


Naason Science’s CSO Jonathan Friedman said of the project, “Naason’s inclusion within the consortium confirms the expertise and acumen we have been building in the area of modelling neurological and psychiatric disorders over the last few years. We are delighted to be able to collaborate with Addex and the other consortium members to quickly and effectively complete the preclinical work and facilitate the IND enabled studies in an area where there is a significant global unmet clinical need”.


“This important research not only advances a potential new avenue in PTSD but could provide insight to other neurological disorders,” said Tim Dyer, CEO of Addex. “This project is another example of our strategy to leverage non-dilutive funding and a collaborative approach to maximize the value of our unique allosteric modulation discovery platform technology, potentially leading to multiple new products for our pipeline.”
