and neuroinflammation. Importantly, these changes in key biomarkers were replicated across studies, and had similar directionality and degree of change. In this conversation, Dr. Charlotte Teunissen moderates a discussion on interpretation of these findings and their relevance to the CT1812 mechanism of action with two leading experts in biomarker development. Episode 5 : “Exploring the Effects of CT1812 on Alzheimer’s Disease Processes: Proteomics and Pathways of Neurodegeneration” features: Charlotte Teunissen, PhD - Professor of Clinical Neurochemistry at Amsterdam University Medical Center Nicholas Seyfried, PhD - Professor of Biochemistry and Neurology at Emory University School of Medicine and Director of the Emory Integrated Proteomics Core Henrik Zetterberg, MD, PhD - Professor of Neuroscience at Gothenburg University and Group Leader of the UK Dementia Research Institute Cognition Therapeutics welcomes comments, questions and feedback on this and other Conversations episodes which may be submitted at conversations@cogrx.com. We’d love to hear your thoughts! About Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of innovative, small molecule therapeutics targeting age-related degenerative disorders of the central nervous system and retina. We are currently investigating our lead candidate CT1812 in clinical programs in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). We believe CT1812 and our pipeline of σ-2 receptor modulators can regulate pathways that are impaired in these diseases. We believe that targeting the σ-2 receptor with CT1812 represents a mechanism functionally distinct from other current approaches in clinical development for the treatment of degenerative diseases.

Active Pass is a Canadian biotechnology company that is engaging in genomic-based drug discovery and is developing drugs that inhibit ABC transporters. ABC or (ATP binding cassette) is a term that describes the interconnected group of molecular engines or pumps that function as a transportation system which moves compounds across the biological membranes. These ABCs are very closely associated with human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, asthma, and hypertension. The Active Pass management team is an accomplished group with experience in many aspects of drug discovery and development. Besides employing full time pharmaceutical development professionals, Active Pass has made wise use of a group of several key partnerships with different pharmaceutical groups. The company cultivates these partnerships in order to access new capabilities or expertise to advance the company's own technologies. More specifically, these partnerships include the Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Organization as well as the National Institute of Health). The company hopes to add new personnel to cover emerging areas of emphasis like clinical and regulatory affairs, business development and finance as they grow.

Echelon Biosciences is a company that received a SBIR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Near Infrared Substrates for Imaging Autotaxin Activity In Vivo. Their project aims to synthesize ATXRed, an in vivo imaging agent that is specifically activated by the enzymatic activity of autotaxin. Autotaxin is an extracellular enzyme that generates the phospholipid growth factor lysophophatidic acid (LPA). LPA is involved in a variety of biological functions, such as angiogenesis, wound healing, brain development, immunological competence and the regulation of blood pressure. Both LPA and autotaxin have also been implicated in numerous diseases, especially metastatic cancer. Autotaxin was identified as one of the 40 most induced genes in aggressive breast cancer. The broader impacts of this research are the discovery and commercialization of tools that easily highlight specific biological pathways in living organisms. ATXRed will be welcomed by basic researchers in many fields associated with autotaxin and LPA. However, the utility extends beyond the basic research sphere. ATXRed smart probes could also aid pharmaceutical researchers searching for pharmacological inhibitors of autotaxin and LPA receptor agonists and antagonists. ATXRed would be a powerful tool in many rodent models of human cancer. In vivo autotaxin imaging probes could also aid in the clinic by helping to identify and monitor disease progression and treatment. Ultimately, ATXRed could help guide surgical resection of tumorstumors previously identified by the smart probe to have elevated autotaxin activity. In total, ATXRed probes have the potential to impact basic research, drug discovery and the clinic as a prime example of molecular medicine applied from bench to bedside.
Medicor Biosciences, founded in 2006 is a development-stage company focused on drug discovery for combating cancer. The founding scientists are leaders in a class of anti-hormone drugs that are designed to block the relaxin hormone cellular signaling pathways in a number of different cancer types. Using the company's Relaxofen technology platform, therapeutic candidates are generated by engineering the natural relaxin peptide to display antagonistic properties. Through pre-clinical development and clinical trials, Medicor Biosciences plans to develop and potentially license the technology so that the therapeutics can be available for cancer patients as an anti-hormone therapy to impair the growth and spread of the disease.
