Products

CSTI-500

An oral, once-daily triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor designed to modulate serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine; developed for hyperphagia and neurobehavioral symptoms in Prader-Willi Syndrome and hypothalamic obesity. Phase I data report safety, ~50-hour half-life, PET target engagement, and bioequivalence of a capsule formulation; program positioned to enter Phase II.

HBS-102 (formerly CSTI-100)

A melanin-concentrating-hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1) antagonist developed for rare neurological indications (including potential applications in REM-sleep dysregulation and energy regulation). Development and commercialization rights are partnered globally except for Greater China, where original developer retains rights.

CSTI-200

A potent and selective GlyT-1 inhibitor in preclinical development intended to treat L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease; characterized by competitive binding properties and favorable ADME/DMPK.
