Key platforms and collaborations
NLS Pharmaceutics has disclosed several important platforms and collaborations that frame the context for the NLSPW warrants:
- DOXA platform (Dual Orexin Receptor Agonists): Through a strategic licensing agreement with Aexon Labs, NLS is advancing non-sulfonamide dual orexin receptor agonists such as AEX-2, AEX-41, and compounds in the AEX-6xx series. Company communications describe these molecules as targeting sleep-wake regulation, cataplexy, neuroinflammation, neuroprotection, and metabolic regulation in orexin-deficient and neurodegenerative models.
- Mazindol programs: NLS has reported preclinical data from Study KO-943, indicating that Mazindol reduced fentanyl-induced reward in animal models. The company characterizes Mazindol as a pan-monoamine reuptake inhibitor with additional pharmacological effects, and it links this asset to potential indications in ADHD, narcolepsy, and substance use disorders.
- Planned combination with Kadimastem: NLS and Kadimastem have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with multiple amendments disclosed via Form 6-K filings. The combined company is to be named NewCelX Ltd. and listed on Nasdaq under the ticker "NCEL". NLS communications describe this as uniting NLS’s CNS small-molecule expertise and DOXA platform with Kadimastem’s allogeneic cell therapy platforms, including AstroRx® for ALS and IsletRx for insulin-dependent diabetes.
