leterious side effects. In addition, the wide separation of affinity at 5HT2A and D2 receptors may allow for administration of the appropriate amount of dopamine modulation for antipsychotic maintenance therapy and the treatment of bipolar disorders.

ITI-007 has a much lower propensity than several currently marketed antipsychotic drugs to interact with receptors that mediate deleterious cardiovascular events, sedation, and rapid and significant weight gain.

About ITI-002

ITI-002 refers to a novel family of compounds that are potent inhibitors aimed at potentiating the dopamine signal in dopamine target neurons. The target enzyme regulated by ITI-002 is part of the D1 dopamine receptor signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in working memory processes that are involved in maintaining and manipulating information in the brain. These processes guide higher-level behavior and high-level cognition, such as language, problem solving and reasoning. Preclinical data suggest that these compounds may have utility in treating disorders, as widely diverse as cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the cognitive deficits arising from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. ITI-002 also may be useful in treating the motor deficits that are associated with Parkinson's disease.

About Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a major neuropsychiatric disorder that affects over 1% of the world population with an illness that begins in late adolescence and lasts a lifetime. Its best known symptoms are 'positive symptoms,' which include hallucinations and delusions; but other mental functions are also affected, including social and motivational skills ('negative symptoms') and cognitive behaviors, like inattention and poor memory. Current antipsychotics are effective primarily on reducing positive symptoms but leave negative and cognitive symptoms untouched. Not only are current drugs incompletely active, but t
