428 Pharma's Patented LAI

428 Pharma is progressing both a microparticle and hydrogel forumlation.

Novel salt of escitalopram.

Protection until 2046.

Difficulties in generating LAI in SSRI/SNRIs:

    • Developing a SSRI/SNRI LAI for MDD has been a goal for pharma development for >20 years.

    • Various big pharmacos have tried and failed.

    • SSRI and SNRIs have very high solubility in water and very low solubility in organic solvents.

    • This creates an almost impossible formulation barrier to achieve one month release and load sufficient drug into the formulation.

    • 428 Pharma identified a novel salt with the ideal solubility profile: This patented salt enabled us to create the worlds 1st one month SC1 LAI for treatment of depression.
