Tuesday, April 16, 2024

Carlsbad, CA, April 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palisade Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALI) (“Palisade”, “Palisade Bio” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and advancing novel therapeutics for patients living with autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases, announced today the successful completion of its analysis evaluating ex-vivo bioactivation of PALI-2108, an orally administered, locally acting colon-specific phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor prodrug in development for patients affected by UC.

Key Points: 
  • These findings demonstrated that PALI-2108 exhibited efficient ex-vivo conversion into its active PDE4 inhibitor form in stool samples from both normal healthy volunteers and patients with UC.
  • The enzymatic activity in stool samples was assessed using LC-MS analysis with all stool samples meeting the target conversion rate within a 24-hour period.
  • The assessment showed PALI-2108 was converted into its active PDE4 inhibitor form at a mean rate of 90.1% with conversion steadily increasing over time.
  • "The results from this study underscore our confidence in PALI-2108 as a targeted treatment for moderate-to-severe UC," said Dr. Mitch Jones, CMO at Palisade Bio.
