CHATHAM, N.J., July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company, today announced that development of TNX-4300* (estianeptine), the single (S)-isomer of tianeptine will be prioritized over TNX-601 ER*, which is being studied in the Phase 2 UPLIFT1 trial for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). TNX-4300 is in preclinical development for mood disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Recent findings have shown estianeptine possesses the ability to improve memory and cognition in vivo as measured in the rat Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test, and the ability to restore neuroplasticity to neurons in cell culture. The finding that estianeptine is responsible for improving memory and cognition in vivo suggests a role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPAR-β/δ activation in memory. For these reasons, Tonix intends to accelerate completion of enrollment for the Phase 2 UPLIFT1 trial to reallocate resources to the preclinical development of TNX-4300 and now expects to report topline data from this study in the fourth quarter of 2023. Tonix is also accelerating completion of enrollment in the RESILIENT study of TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia so that approximately 450 patients will be enrolled, and topline results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Key Points: 
  • The finding that estianeptine is responsible for improving memory and cognition in vivo suggests a role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPAR-β/δ activation in memory.
