New medicine piggybacks onto fat absorption pathways to allow oral delivery and support clinical trial in major depressive disorder
Monash University and Seaport Therapeutics have developed a new approach to delivering drug molecules that piggybacks onto natural fat absorption pathways to allow oral delivery of some drugs previously requiring injection. The research, published today inScience Translational Medicine, describes the first clinical evidence that a fat, or lipid, modified version of the naturally occurring neurosteroid allopregnanolone (GlyphAllo™) can result in high enough levels of the substance in the human bloodstream to be potentially effective. The endogenous neurosteroid allopregnanolone is a well-established molecule known for its clinically validated antidepressant, anti-anxiety and sleep-promoting effects – but to this point had to be…
