AVN-101

AVN-101 is a novel, orally bioavailable, low toxic, multi-target drug that has a strong anxiolytic, antidepressant, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is a third-generation antipsychotic drug that is currently in the clinical trial phase.

Mechanism of Action

AVN-101 acts on several receptors in the brain, including serotonin receptors, adrenergic receptors, and histamine receptors. It has a high affinity for the 5-HT7 and 5-HT6 receptors, moderate affinity for the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT1A receptors, and low affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor. AVN-101 also has a high affinity for the α2C-adrenergic receptor and the H1 histamine receptor.

Clinical Trials

AVN-101 has undergone Phase I and Phase IIa clinical trials for the treatment of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. The results of these trials have shown that AVN-101 is safe and well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. The drug has also shown promising results in improving cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

Potential Applications

In addition to its potential use in treating cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, AVN-101 may also have potential applications in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders. Further research is needed to confirm these potential applications.
