ANAVEX portfolio involves eleven new sigma ligands in late pre-clinical stage that target therapeutic areas of CNS and Cancer. These product candidates are expected to enter clinical trials within 2008.

The company’s lead drug candidates exhibit high affinity to sigma receptors with strong evidence of anti-amnesic, neuroprotective, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive, anti-depressant and anxiolytic properties.

ANAVEX’s Sigmaceptor-C program involves the discovery and development of novel and original drug candidates targeting cancer. The company’s lead drug candidates exhibit high affinity to sigma receptors with strong evidence for selective apoptosis of cancerous cells without affecting healthy cells, anti-metastatic and low toxicity properties in various types of cancer such as colon, prostate, breast and lung.

Preliminary results from in vivo studies in xenograft models have shown that ANAVEX lead compounds cause significant delay of tumor growth, suggesting a potent in vivo anticancer activity by inducing anoikis in a dose and time dependent manner.
