Actinogen Medical Limited

ACW

Actinogen Medical Ltd. is a clinical stage Australian biotechnology company, which focuses on the development of novel treatments or cognitive impairment associated with neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic diseases due to raised cortisol. The company is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales. The company went IPO on 2007-10-16. The firm is engaged in the development of a therapy for neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases associated with dysregulated brain cortisol. The company is engaged in the development of its lead compound, Xanamem, as a therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease, Major Depressive Disorder, Fragile X Syndrome, and other neurological diseases where reducing cortisol inside brain cells could have a positive impact. Xanamem’s mechanism of action is to block the production of cortisol inside cells through the inhibition of the 11B-HSD1 enzyme in the brain. Xanamem is designed to get into the brain after it is absorbed in the intestines upon swallowing its capsule. The company has studied 11B-HSD1 inhibition by Xanamem in approximately 300 volunteers and patients. The firm conducts a series of Phase II studies in multiple diseases to further confirm and characterize Xanamem’s therapeutic potential.
