Collaboration to advance novel treatment for spasticity and pain in MS



Concert Pharmaceuticals has joined forces with New York-based Fast Forward, a subsidiary of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, to fund the pre-clinical advancement of a new drug developed by the company, C-21191, to treat spasticity and pain in people suffering from MS.

“This collaboration with Fast Forward enables us to accelerate development of C-21191 and will provide our team with valuable insight into the management of symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis,” said Roger Tung, president and CEO of Concert Pharmaceuticals. “It further validates our novel deuterated chemical entity platform as a highly efficient approach to creating innovative compounds like C-21191 by leveraging previous industry R&D (research and development) investment.”...Read More - http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseact ... ageid/1743

Why is such trash announced in press releases?

Sou...it is called LEFTA or money for all the rest of the non-Greeks.
Cynicism is running deep these days....wonder why?

Medical Cannabis reduces spasticity for me. CBD (Cannabidiol)) has a far more beneficial effect than THC.

Using plants instead of pills makes sense to me.

nature made vs man made synthetics, ill take nature every time

Nature's not always your friend. Tetrodotoxin from puffer fish is just one example. Calyculin, a toxin from a marine sponge that acts as a potent phophatase inhibitor and mutagen, is another. Then there's domoic acid from a phytoplankton that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (lets not forget saxitoxin which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning) and so on...


NHE

lol! i would still go with nature for my poison needs.
