EnVivo Pharmaceuticals Announces Progress on Major Drug Programs Focusing on Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia and Huntington's Diseases
Date:10/17/2007

WATERTOWN, Mass., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- EnVivo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing drugs for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced progress on several key programs for addressing Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia and Huntington's diseases.

EnVivo Pharmaceuticals is developing EVP6124, a selective, orally active Alpha 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonist for the treatment of cognitive deficits associated with Alzheimer's disease and Schizophrenia. The Company today announced the commencement of a second Phase I multiple ascending dose study in healthy young volunteers at very low doses to further establish safety factors and evidence of cognitive enhancement. In previously completed Phase I studies a positive signal consistent with the mechanism of action and suggestive of a pro-cognitive effect was shown.

In a related matter, the Company announced approval of an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Phase IIA Schizophrenia study that is scheduled to begin in early 2008. It is anticipated that Alpha 7 agonist compounds will improve cognitive function in Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's patients.

Additionally, the Company reported that a lead compound has emerged from its Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor (HDACi) program. The goal of the program is to further evaluate this lead compound with a view to potentially commencing clinical trials in 2008, in mutual agreement with partner MethylGene. The company believes that this lead compound represents one of the first highly potent, orally bio-available and brain-permeable HDAC inhibitors for neuro- degenerative diseases. HDAC inhibitors hold promise for treating the cognitive deficits of several diseases including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's Disease as well as slowing the progression of neuro-degenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease.

Finally, the Company announced the appointment
