ZyVersa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVSA) has highlighted new data showing how inflammasome inhibition reduces neuroinflammation and amyloid beta (Aβ) buildup in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models. The research, published in Immunity journal, demonstrates that NLRP3 inhibition significantly attenuates AD pathology development.
The study reveals that initial Aβ deposition triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to ASC specks release which enhances Aβ aggregation. This creates a cycle of inflammation and Aβ deposition in the brain. ZyVersa's Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 shows potential as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases by targeting ASC and inhibiting multiple inflammasome pathways.
Key findings show that NLRP3 inhibition:
- Increased degradation and elimination of Aβ in microglia through phagocytosis
- Enhanced microglial metabolic activity through increased glutamine utilization
- Improved mitochondrial function
ZyVersa Therapeutics (ZVSA) has announced a $2.0 million private placement agreement with a single healthcare-focused U.S. institutional investor. The deal includes:
- Sale of 2,105,265 shares of common stock at $0.95 per share
- Warrants to purchase up to 2,105,265 additional shares at $1.00 per share, exercisable for 5 years upon shareholder approval
- Expected closing date: March 7, 2025
Additionally, existing warrants for 957,200 shares will be amended, reducing the exercise price from $2.06 to $1.00 per share, subject to shareholder approval. The company plans to use proceeds for general working capital. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners serves as the sole placement agent.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVSA) has highlighted new data showing positive effects of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition in treating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes in obese animal models.
The study demonstrated that inflammasome inhibition led to:
- Reduced inflammation and macrophage activation in cardiac and visceral adipose tissue
- Improved cardiac function and decreased cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis
- Better glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity
These findings support the potential of ZyVersa's Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 as a treatment for obesity and related cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. The company plans to initiate two preclinical studies in diet-induced obesity mouse models in H1 2025, comparing IC 100 to semaglutide and assessing their combined effects.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVSA) announces CEO Stephen C. Glover's attendance at JPM's 43rd Annual Healthcare Conference 2025 in San Francisco from January 13-16, 2025. The company is developing two key drug candidates: IC 100, an Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor targeting obesity with metabolic complications, and VAR 200, a Cholesterol Efflux Mediator for kidney diseases.
VAR 200 is expected to begin Phase 2a clinical trials for diabetic kidney disease in Q1-2025. The company's CEO will be available for one-on-one meetings to discuss ZyVersa's technology, pipeline assets, and development milestones with industry strategics and investors during the conference.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVSA) has published new data showing their Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 protects against stroke-related cardiovascular injury in preclinical trials. The study, conducted on mice and zebrafish hearts, demonstrated that IC 100 blocked AIM2 inflammasome activation and cell death in the heart, improving cardiac function post-stroke. Key findings showed that IC 100 significantly reduced inflammasome proteins and cardiac inflammation when administered 30 minutes post-stroke. The company plans to progress IC 100's development into phase 1 around mid-2025, targeting obesity-related cardiovascular diseases, which have seen deaths triple between 1999 and 2020.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (ZVSA) reported Q3 2024 financial results and business updates. The company plans to begin Phase 2a clinical trial for VAR 200 in diabetic kidney disease in Q1-2025. Two obesity proof-of-concept studies with IC 100 are planned, with at least one starting in Q4-2024. The company formed a new Obesity, Metabolic & Inflammatory Disease Scientific Advisory Board in October 2024.
Q3 2024 net losses were $2.4 million, improving 17.3% from Q3 2023. R&D expenses decreased 35.3% to $0.4 million, while G&A expenses decreased 17.7% to $1.8 million. The company raised approximately $3.9 million since Q3-2024 and will need additional financing to support operations.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ZVSA) highlights published data showing the potential of inflammasome inhibition to protect pancreatic islet beta cells and prevent progression from obesity to type 2 diabetes. Research demonstrated that inflammasome-driven inflammation severely damages pancreatic islets, leading to cell loss and metabolic dysfunction. The study showed that inflammasome NLRP3 inhibition protected pancreatic islet beta cells and improved metabolic status in obesity mouse models. This data supports ZyVersa's development of Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 as an add-on to incretin therapy for obesity treatment, with phase 1 trials planned for mid-2025.
ZyVersa Therapeutics highlights a review article supporting the need for drug therapies to treat obesity-related inflammation alongside weight loss drugs. The article, published in Life journal, analyzes 345 publications on inflammasome-induced inflammation in obesity and its comorbidities. Obesity's chronic inflammation increases risks for metabolic diseases, atherosclerosis, tumors, and immune disorders. The company plans to develop Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 as an add-on to incretin therapy, targeting multiple inflammasomes including NLRP3 and AIM2. ZyVersa aims to progress IC 100's obesity development program into phase 1 around mid-2025.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ZVSA) highlights data published in Aging Cell demonstrating that obesity leads to brain inflammation, potentially increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. The study, conducted on a diet-induced obesity mouse model, showed that:
1. Obesity resulted in significant weight gain and adipose tissue inflammation.
2. Prolonged obesity (26 weeks) in adolescent mice led to systemic inflammation and suppression of neuroprotective factors in multiple brain regions.
3. Mature adult obese mice demonstrated systemic inflammation and reduced neuroprotective factors earlier than younger mice.
ZyVersa's Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100, which penetrates the brain and key organs affected by obesity, shows potential in controlling CNS and systemic inflammation associated with obesity and its comorbidities, including Parkinson's disease.
ZyVersa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ZVSA) has announced obesity with metabolic complications as the lead indication for its Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100. The company's CEO, Stephen C. Glover, highlighted development plans and milestones for the next nine months in a letter to shareholders. IC 100 is anticipated to control chronic systemic inflammation of obesity, attenuate associated metabolic comorbidities, and augment weight loss when added to GLP-1 agonist therapy.
Key milestones include:
- Q4-2024: Initiate IC 100 monotherapy study in DIO mice
- Q1-2025: Start IC 100 combination study with semaglutide in DIO mice
- Q2-2025: File IND
- Q3-2025: Begin IC 100 phase 1 trial in healthy overweight subjects
