CRANBURY, N.J., Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: PTN), a specialized biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin peptide receptor systems, today announced a featured speaker presentation and two poster presentations at the upcoming TIDES USA hybrid conference in Boston, Massachusetts on September 20-23, 2021.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with TIDES to continue informing the peptide world about our robust pipeline of melanocortin agonists as possible treatments for inflammatory conditions," said Carl Spana, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Palatin. "The gut, as well as the eye, offer multiple unique opportunities for melanocortins to promote resolution of inflammation."
Dr. Spana is a featured speaker and will discuss the Company's broad expertise in melanocortin peptides, including its development programs for inflammation. The poster presentations by John Dodd, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Preclinical Research, demonstrates the possible utility of melanocortins in inflammation, and presents animal disease model data specific to colon inflammation.
TIDES USA is conducting a hybrid live and digital event with presentations across multiple drug development functional groups from development through commercialization for oligos, peptides, mRNA and genome editing products.
Presentation and Poster details are:
- Featured Speaker presentation entitled "Development of Melanocortin-based Peptide Therapeutics: Vyleesi (FDA Approved) and Next Generation of Novel Peptides That Resolve Inflammation" will be presented on September 21, 2021, by Dr. Spana.
- Two poster presentations by Dr. Dodd, provide an overview of the exciting potential utility of melanocortin agonists for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, with the second poster providing specific data in an inflammatory disease rat model. The posters are titled:
- Probing the Role of the Melanocortin Receptor Agonists in Experimental Immune-Mediated Diseases
- Effect of the Melanocortin Receptor Agonist PL8177 on DSS-Induced Colitis in Rats and a Toxicologic Assessment of PL8177 in Beagle Dogs
Both poster presentations will be available on the TIDES USA conference website for registered attendees and will be available on Palatin's website today at www.palatin.com.
About Melanocortins and Inflammation
The melanocortin receptor ("MCr") system has effects on food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation, and immune system responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have significant pharmacological effects.
Many tissues and immune cells located in the eye express melanocortin receptors, empowering our opportunity to directly activate natural pathways to resolve disease inflammation.
