NLS Pharmaceutics (NASDAQ: NLSP) has submitted three research abstracts to the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology (ASCP), scheduled for May 27-30, 2025, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The submissions include:
1. A study on Mazindol ER for fentanyl dependence, exploring its potential as a non-opioid alternative for addiction treatment.
2. Research on AEX-41 and AEX-2, novel dual orexin receptor agonists (DOXA), showing promising results for narcolepsy treatment without traditional stimulants' adverse metabolic effects.
3. A comprehensive study on managing diabetes-associated neurological and sleep disorders using dual orexin receptor agonists, neuropeptide-based preconditioning, and metabolic modulators.
NLS Pharmaceutics (NASDAQ: NLSP) has launched a preclinical program to evaluate Mazindol ER as a treatment for fentanyl dependence. The program, designated Study KO-943, comes amid a major global health crisis, with CDC reporting 105,007 drug overdose deaths in 2023, 90% involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
Mazindol ER, protected by patents until September 2038, offers a non-opioid alternative through multiple mechanisms: 5-HT1A receptor modulation, mu-opioid receptor interaction, and orexin-2 receptor partial agonist activity. The preclinical study will evaluate safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics, with completion expected within 12-18 months.
The company holds key patents, including US Patent No. 11,207,271 for oral formulations and No. 11,596,622 for heroin dependence treatment. The development program aims to address the limitations of traditional treatments like methadone and buprenorphine.
NLS Pharmaceutics (NLSP) CEO Alex Zwyer issued a shareholder letter highlighting recent developments and future strategies.

Preliminary results from AEX-41 studies showed promising outcomes in managing sleep-wake disturbances.

NLS Pharmaceutics (NASDAQ:NLSP) announced promising preclinical data for its dual orexin receptor agonist (DOXA) platform. The study focuses on AEX-41 and AEX-2, first-in-class non-sulfonamide DOXAs targeting both orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors while inhibiting cathepsins. In orexin knockout mice, AEX-41 showed significant increase in wakefulness and reduced REM sleep duration, with efficacy comparable to existing OX2R agonists. The company plans to expand research in 2025 to study neuroinflammation impact, with an IND application planned for 2026-2027. The dual-action mechanism could potentially address both sleep-wake regulation and neurodegenerative processes.
