Anavex Life Sciences Corp (NASDAQ: AVXL) is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting stocks in small caps targeting the holy grail of medicine; Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s is among the top 10 leading causes of deaths in the United States and represents a wide open colossal market worth billions. While many newsletters have covered the rise of AVXL Microcaspdaily was first on the scene back on April 2, 2015 when AVXL was at $0.20 reporting at the time: “Anavex Life Sciences Corp (OTCMKTS:AVXL) is making an explosive move up on accelerating volume after reversing off $0.15 a share. The stock currently trades at a fraction of the $5 per share it commanded back in 2008. After years of steep decline AVXL has come back to life in a big way; the CEO was recently at the 2015 AD/PD(TM) Conference where Anavex unveiled new promising preclinical data for both ANAVEX 2-73 and ANAVEX 3-71 in two separate presentations.” Since than Microcapdaily has covered the ups and downs and ups of AVXL, the reverse split, the massive short attack and loss of faith by many in the Company and the eventual uplisting from the bulletin boards to a national exchange.
Under the able leadership of Christopher Missling the successes for AVXL have been adding up as ANAVEX 2-73 received an orphan and a Fast Track designation from the FDA in Rett Syndrome, which has potential to receive a Pediatric Priority Review Voucher, worth millions of dollars. Rett Syndrome is a genetic disease that affects young females and leads to various neurological impairments and has no known cure and only symptomatic treatments. There are between 6,000 and 9,000 US patients. Several weeks ago Anavex reported it has exceeded its enrollment target for the ANAVEX2-73 (blarcamesine) Phase 2b/3 study in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Topline results are expected by mid-2022. The study exceeded enrollment beyond 450 patients at 52 sites across North America, Europe and Australia using ADAS-Cog (cognition) and ADCS-ADL (activities of daily living and function) as primary endpoints. This double-blind trial is measuring efficacy, tolerability, and safety of two different once daily oral ANAVEX2-73 (blarcamesine) doses or placebo. The countdown to trial completion has begun… 48 weeks To go!
Anavex Life Sciences Corp (NASDAQ: AVXL) is focused on developing differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Rett syndrome and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, pain and various types of cancer. Anavex’s lead drug candidate, ANAVEX(R)2-73 or blarcamesine, is an agonist of the intracellular sigma-1 chaperone protein. Specifically, it’s a mixed ligand for sigma1/muscarinic receptors.
SIGMAR1 is an important protein that influences multiple cellular and physiological pathways by being located at the confluence of the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. According to reports, blarcamesine has “memory-preserving and neuroprotective effects in mice treated with the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine, with synthetic Aβ oligomer injection, or with the NMDA receptor agonist dizocilpine (Villard et al., 2011). Other studies in the Aβ oligomer injection model suggest that blarcamesine may block tau hyperphosphorylation and protect mitochondria (Jan 2013 conference news; Lahmy et al., 2013; Lahmy et al., 2014).”
Preclinical studies demonstrated its potential to halt and/or reverse the course of Alzheimer’s disease. ANAVEX(R)2-73 also exhibited anticonvulsant, anti-amnesic, neuroprotective and anti-depressant properties in animal models, indicating its potential to treat additional CNS disorders, including epilepsy. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research previously awarded Anavex a research grant, which fully funded a preclinical study to develop ANAVEX(R)2-73 for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. ANAVEX(R)3-71, which targets sigma-1 and muscarinic receptors, is a promising clinical stage drug candidate demonstrating disease-modifying activity against the major hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease in transgenic (3xTg-AD) mice, including cognitive deficits, amyloid and tau pathologies. In preclinical trials, ANAVEX(R)3-71 has shown beneficial effects on mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.

The countdown to trial completion has begun… 48 weeks To go! It is generally agreed upon that ehe best treatments for Alzheimer’s center around compounds that have two basic components that have two basic characteristics; they are hydrogen and electron donors. This results in the scavenging of the peroxymigtite and in the partial reversal of oxidation and nitraction. That is why is is important to invest i Anavex (AVXL) and Cyuclo Therapetuics (CYTH); they are taking the right approach even if the outcome is not guaranteed.
