Insights
Annovis Bio Inc. securing a U.S. patent for its lead drug candidate, buntanetap, for the treatment of acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant achievement in the pharmaceutical domain. Patents are critical in the drug development process as they provide exclusivity, enabling the company to recoup its investment in R&D. This U.S. patent’s approval, following the filing in 2016, indicates robust and substantiated innovation. Investors should note that this patent protects Annovis's intellectual property in a large market, potentially leading to higher valuation due to anticipated exclusive market rights.
Buntanetap’s efficacy in preclinical studies for TBI is an encouraging development. Acute traumatic brain injuries are prevalent and challenging to treat, often resulting in long-term disability. The drug’s potential to prevent nerve cell death is noteworthy because it addresses the primary cause of functional loss in TBI. If clinical trials replicate these preclinical results, buntanetap could become a pivotal treatment in neuroscience. This development places Annovis Bio at the forefront of neurotrauma care, which may increase investor interest and confidence in the company's innovative capabilities.
This patent not only strengthens Annovis Bio’s portfolio but also potentially opens a substantial new market in the U.S. for TBI treatment. The prevalence of TBI, which affects millions annually, means there is a significant demand for effective treatments. A patent secured in the U.S. provides a competitive advantage and enhances the company's appeal as a prospective market leader in neurodegenerative and acute injury treatments. Investors should consider the long-term revenue implications, as successful commercialization of buntanetap could lead to considerable returns.
MALVERN, Pa., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Annovis Bio Inc. (NYSE: ANVS) (“Annovis” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical drug platform company pioneering transformative therapies for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), announced today the issuance of a U.S. patent for methods of treating acute traumatic brain injuries (TBI) with its lead drug candidate, buntanetap.
In 2016, the Company filed a patent covering the treatment of various nerve insults, including TBI, stroke, and nerve and spinal cord injuries. While these claims were granted in Europe and worldwide, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) required the claims to be divided into individual patents for each indication. Annovis Bio has now received U.S. Patent No. 12,042,482, which covers methods for treating TBI and preventing nerve cell death with buntanetap.
“We are thrilled to achieve this significant milestone for buntanetap,” said Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D., Founder, President, and CEO of Annovis. “Nerve cell death is a common underlying factor in many brain conditions, beyond just Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Our preclinical studies in TBI and stroke animal models have demonstrated buntanetap’s efficacy in preventing cell death and loss of function, and it is our duty to explore its potential benefits for victims of brain trauma, a prevalent issue in the U.S.”
This patent significantly strengthens Annovis Bio’s portfolio which includes patents and patent applications covering the use of buntanetap for acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases as well as mental illnesses. The Company's commitment to addressing a broad range of neurodegenerative [MM1] disorders highlight its innovative approach to restoring brain function and improving patient outcomes.
About Buntanetap
Buntanetap (formerly known as Posiphen or ANVS401) targets neurodegeneration by inhibiting the formation of multiple neurotoxic proteins, including amyloid beta, tau, alpha-synuclein, and TDP43. This improves synaptic transmission, axonal transport, and reduces neuroinflammation. Dysregulation of these pathways has been shown to cause nerve cell degeneration and ultimately nerve cell death. By targeting these pathways, buntanetap has the potential to reverse neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases, thereby aiming to restore brain function and improve the quality of life for patients.
