CNS Drugs
[/vc_column_text][dt_gap height=”10″][vc_column_text]Challenges of developing CNS drugs- Every area of drug discovery has challenges, and this is especially true for compounds that act in the brain. Our group has special expertise in discovering CNS drugs.
- Design compounds that maintain appropriate physicochemical
parameters (mw, PSA, lipophilicity, etc) - Improve CNS exposure by improving passive permeability and
eliminating efflux transporter susceptibility - Proactively recognize and avoid common latent risks including hERG activity and phospholipidosis.
- Design PET ligands and other receptor occupancy tools
and beyond for targets in these disease areas:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Psychosis
- Depression
- Neuropathic pain
