Dr. Mark A. Varney, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Neurolixis, will present the latest preclinical data on NLX-112 at the 19th International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders to be held on June 14-18, 2015 in San Diego, California. The poster (#342) is entitled “NLX-112, a novel candidate for the treatment of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia: Behavioral and neurochemical profile in rat.” NLX-112 (also known as befiradol) exhibits a promising profile in rat models of Parkinson’s disease, completely abolishing dyskinesias and also exhibiting potent antidepressant-like activity. Investigation of NLX-112 has been conducted with support from the Michael. J. Fox Foundation (see previous announcement) and results have recently been published (Iderberg et al., Experimental Neurology, 2015).
