Anavex Life Sciences
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. operates as a biopharmaceutical company. It engages in the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Rett syndrome, and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, pain, and various types of cancer. Its lead drug candidate, ANAVEX 2-73 (blarcamesine), which has completed a Phase 2a and a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease; a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in Parkinson's disease dementia; and a Phase 2 and a Phase 3 study in adult patients and one Phase 2/3 study in pediatric patients with Rett syndrome. Its ANAVEX 2-73 is an orally available drug candidate designed to restore cellular homeostasis by targeting SIGMAR1 and muscarinic receptors. The ANAVEX 2-73 also exhibited anticonvulsant, anti-amnesic, neuroprotective, and anti-depressant properties in animal models, indicating its potential to treat additional CNS disorders, including epilepsy. The company's ANAVEX 3-71, which targets SIGMAR1 and M1 muscarinic receptors, is a clinical stage drug candidate demonstrating disease-modifying activity against the Alzheimer's disease in transgenic (3xTg-AD) mice, including cognitive deficits, amyloid, and tau pathologies. Anavex Life Sciences Corp. was incorporated in 2004 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

Structure Therapeutics Inc., a clinical stage global biopharmaceutical company, develops and delivers novel oral small molecule therapeutics to treat various chronic diseases with unmet medical needs in the United States. Its lead product candidate is GSBR-1290, an oral and biased small molecule agonist of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor, which is in two phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of obesity, overweight, and related conditions. The company also develops ACCG-2671, which is in preclinical trial to treat obesity; ANPA-0073, an oral small molecule agonist targeting the apelin, which is phase 2 ready for selective weight loss or muscle-sparing weight loss; and LTSE-2578, an antagonist that targets lysophosphatidic acid 1 receptor, a G-protein coupled receptors implicated in responses to tissue injury and pro-fibrotic processes, for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, it develops programs, including glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) program, which identified multiple GIPR agonist, dual GLP-1R/GIPR agonist, and GIPR antagonist hits for small molecule GIPR modulation that has the potential to provide a treatment in obesity; and GCG program, which identified multiple GCG receptor (GCGR) agonist and dual GLP-1R/GCGR agonist hits for small molecule GCGR modulation. The company was formerly known as ShouTi Inc. Structure Therapeutics Inc. was incorporated in 2016 and is headquartered in South San Francisco, California.
