Anavex’s newest patent expands coverage of ANAVEX®2-73 (blarcamesine) therapy to ameliorate various conditions associated with loss-of-function mutations of the gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein (MeCP2).

Such conditions are frequently associated with diseases such as Rett syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Angelman syndrome, Williams syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), childhood disintegrative disorder, Smith-Magenis syndrome, non-syndromic mental retardation, idiopathic neonatal encephalopathy, and idiopathic cerebral palsy. This newest patent is expected to remain in force at least until January 2037, not including any patent term extension.
