Vistagen Presents New Fasedienol (PH94B) Research at 2023 Anxiety and Depression Association of America Conference

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Findings from the study demonstrate local metabolism and clearance of fasedienol from the nasal passages.

Key Points: 
  • Findings from the study demonstrate local metabolism and clearance of fasedienol from the nasal passages.
  • This discovery of the local nasal clearance of fasedienol may explain prior research findings that fasedienol is absent from systemic circulation and from the brain after intranasal administration, contributing to its favorable safety profile in all clinical studies to date, which studies have involved over 30,000 doses of fasedienol administered to adults with SAD.
  • In the study, cells were extracted from the epithelial lining of the dorsal nasal septum of each nasal passage in healthy adult volunteers.
  • Results from incubation of fasedienol with human nasal epithelial cells show that it is progressively metabolized and cleared from the nasal passages by P450-CYP enzymes expressed in nasal epithelial cells, including chemosensory cells, after intranasal spray administration.
