Breakthrough Non-narcotic Peptide Analgesic
The discovery phase has been over 25 years.
Now Preclinical study is 100% completed.
How It Works
Possible drug form is nasal drops.
1
Chemical Structure
Synthetic analogue of the salmon calcitonin molecule fragment, which retains the analgesic activity of the full-size molecule.
It was selected and patented 288 variants of peptide sequences differing most stability and analgesic effectiveness (Patent "Synthetic peptides wtih a non-narcotic type of analgesic effect", WO2013141750A1).

Mechanism of action
The analgesic effect of ANODYNAL® is associated with a specific binding of a clathrin heavy chain.
Inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) by clathrin blockage leads to irregular recycling of pain receptors in the postsynaptic vesicular cycle, which results in the analgesic effect.
This innovative mechanism of ANODYNAL® action has been patented (Patent "Specific peptide inhibitors of clathrin" WO2018186770A1).

Сomparison with other analgesics
The analgesic effect of ANODYNAL® is comparable to morphine and higher than that of ketorolac tromethamine, which is significantly superior to other NSAIDs, at doses 1000 times less and cost 3 times less.

Opioid epidemic: key facts
- Beginning in the 1980s, prescription opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone were heavily marketed as a treatment for pain, and at the time, the risk of addiction to these substances was downplayed.
- Opioid prescriptions nearly tripled between 1991 and 2011.
- In 2015, nearly 100 million Americans were prescribed painkillers by their doctor.
- 70 K opioid drug overdose deaths were registered in 2017 in the US.
- Now drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50, who are now more likely to die from a drug overdose than from car accidents or firearms.
