“A unique feature of ANAVEX2-73, compared to another sigma-1 receptor agonist we studied, is that ANAVEX2-73 accelerates the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) to oligodendrocytes (OL),” said Dr Robert P. Lisak. “This is an important feature since OPCs can replace lost OLs by maturing into new potential myelin-producing cells. In other words, ANAVEX2-73 might promote remyelination. Further data also demonstrates that ANAVEX2-73 provides protection for OL, OPCs, as well as central nervous system neurons in addition to helping repair by increasing OPC proliferation and maturation in tissue culture.“
“These findings provide additional evidence for the neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects of ANAVEX2-73, as well as further validating the mechanism of our target,” said Christopher U. Missling, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anavex.
Let's turn that "might" into a "does" with a P2 run by Dr Lisak and WSU. The Wayne State Multiple Sclerosis Center serves a population of more than 4,000 MS patients with the largest group of African Americans in the country. It is designated by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as a Center for Comprehensive MS Care and is a member of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Center. It is nationally and internationally recognized for patient care, innovative technology and cutting edge research. We provide high quality care and we work closely with other specialties, including neuropsychologists, urologists, physical, occupational and speech therapists. We see patients with a wide range of autoimmune disorders, including:
