rect, as they suppress gastric
acid production rather than prevent relaxation of the lower
esophageal sphincter. Approximately 20% of patients with GERD
either do not respond or are inadequately controlled by PPIs. Hence
there remains a significant unmet need in the market for drugs with
an alternative non-acid-suppressing mode of action. There are
currently no licensed medications which act specifically to
normalize the dysregulated function of the lower esophageal
sphincter, and Addex believes that ADX10059 has the potential to
become a first-in-class treatment for GERD.
About Addex Pharmaceuticals
Addex Pharmaceuticals is an innovative pharmaceutical company
that discovers and develops novel therapeutics that modulate the
effect of natural activators on their specific targets, in
particular G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), in a
non-competitive manner. The compounds are referred to as allosteric
modulators and potentially offer advantages over conventional
competitive agonist and antagonist compounds. This modulator
principle is applicable to any GPCR, opening up a very wide variety
of therapeutic opportunities. Addex is focusing its research and
development on major indications with substantial unmet medical
needs and significant commercial opportunities.
Addex has a portfolio of proprietary compounds in discovery and
development for GERD, migraine, anxiety, smoking cessation,
depression, pain, cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, Parkinson's
disease, contraception and diabetes type 2. Addex's competence in
drug development and its expertise in allosteric modulation were
recognised through the establishment of a partnership for
co-development of mGluR2 positive allosteric modulators for anxiety
and schizophrenia with Johnson & Johnson in 2004.
