PreveCeutical Announces Lead Pain Management Peptides Identified for Preclinical Evaluation

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 2, 2020) –  PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) (the “Company” or “PreveCeutical”), is pleased to provide an update to its non-addictive analgesic program (“Analgesic Program”).

The Analgesic Program started in July 2018 to discover and develop analgesic peptide-based therapeutics for moderate to severe pain and inflammation. This discovery program, which utilizes a proprietary disulfide linker technology, is in its final steps of completion. Several promising lead peptides have been identified, which have been shown to be stable in two independent stability assays and shown to be selective for the opioid receptor of interest.

Select peptides from both the linear and cyclized versions, have been found to be highly potent when screened in a cell inhibition assay. The lead peptides have been progressed to an evaluation in an inflammatory pain model, and the outcome from those studies will be reported in short order.

PreveCeutical’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Stephen Van Deventer, stated, “We are very pleased with the promising results from research. We are now looking to transition these promising developments to the selection of lead drug candidates for further studies ahead of future clinical trials and commercialization. To address the current global opioid crises, we will seek fast track approval from various regulatory health organizations.”
