CERESPIR


CereSpir is a biotechnology company focused on immuno-neurology, developing novel therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. They utilize a unique class of pharmacological agents called AICD inhibitors to combat neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, aiming to create disease-modifying treatments. Their lead compounds, Itanapraced (CSP-1103) and CSP-1103, are in various stages of clinical development, with plans for Phase 3 trials. The company collaborates with leading neuroscience institutes and has a strong patent portfolio to support their innovative approach.

Products

Itanapraced (CSP-1103)

An orally available, brain-penetrant small molecule in clinical development that inhibits AICD activity, modulates microglial function (increases phagocytosis, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines), and has been evaluated in Phase 1/2 studies and multiple preclinical models.

News & Updates

Daniel G. Chain, PhD, President and CEO of Cerespir, will speak on Alzheimer's and Cognitive Disorders.

Richard A. Margolin, MD, Vice President, Clinical Development of Cerespir, will speak on optimizing late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease trials.

CERESPIR INCORPORATED announced it has identified a possible link between COVID-19 induced brain inflammation and ARDS, and aims to test its compound itanapraced as a treatment.

Animal studies show itanapraced blocks neurotoxicity and expression of LRRK2, supporting its potential as a disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

CereSpir obtained a patent from USPTO covering the optimal synthetic route for manufacturing CSP-1103, ensuring exclusive rights until October 2031.
