Bsense Announces the Clinical Candidate Nomination of BSEN760, a Novel Dual Kv7.2/3 and TRPV1 Modulator, to Unlock a New Approach to Dampening Sensory Hyperexcitability for Chronic Pain Treatment

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, December 5, 2023

BSEN760 is a novel potent and selective, orally active, investigational small molecule drug that simultaneously activates Kv7.2/3 and inhibits TRPV1.

Key Points: 
  • BSEN760 is a novel potent and selective, orally active, investigational small molecule drug that simultaneously activates Kv7.2/3 and inhibits TRPV1.
  • The dual mechanism of action (MOA) of BSEN760 underlies the compound’s exquisite potency and synergistic activity in dampening sensory neuron hyperexcitability.
  • As such, BSEN760 may enter the market with comparable, potentially better, efficacy vs. SOC, and a much improved safety profile.
  • These, and other data, support the Company’s efforts toward full preclinical development of BSEN760 and IND submission by Q1 2025.

  • Comparatively, traditional CBD had no effect on this type of pain in the same study.
  • “These preclinical results illustrate the potential of Supera-CBD to alleviate acute inflammatory pain related to injuries, burns, surgery, and flare-ups from chronic inflammatory conditions such as diabetic neuropathy and shingles,” said Chris Chapman, MD, president, director and chief medical officer, MyMD.

Team from Korea University Medicine Explores Ways to Overcome Cisplatin Resistance and Alleviate Pain in Cancer Treatment

Friday, July 21, 2023

SEOUL, South Korea, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapy drug for various types of cancers. However, frequent usage can lead to the development of drug resistance and neuropathic pain, eventually resulting in treatment failure. In a new study, researchers from South Korea investigated the underlying pathways contributing to this resistance and identified potential therapeutic targets that can be modulated to overcome this. By understanding and targeting these mechanisms, effective treatment strategies can be developed and implemented.

Key Points: 
  • However, frequent usage can lead to the development of drug resistance and neuropathic pain, eventually resulting in treatment failure.
  • But the continued use of cisplatin can lead to the development of cisplatin resistance and other side effects, like chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain.
  • Now, in a new study, Prof. Tae Woo Kim from Korea University Medicine and his team have explored the pathways leading to cisplatin resistance.
  • This study serves as valuable proof-of-concept for TRPV1 as a therapeutic target to combat cisplatin resistance and neuropathic pain, thereby improving the outlook for patients with cervical cancer.
