A paper entitled “PN6047, a G protein-biased delta opioid receptor agonist with an improved therapeutic profile for use in chronic pain” was delivered at the Christmas meeting of the British Pharmacological Society at London’s QE2 Centre (17–20th December). The communication was given by Dr Alex Conibear who is working in Prof Eamonn Kelly’s research group at the University of Bristol funded by a Medical Research Council project grant to PharmNovo and Prof Kelly for the study of biased signalling via delta opioid receptors. The potential clinical use of PN6047 for the treatment of chronic pain and, in particular, mechanical allodynia, was explained and a detailed account of its biased signalling profile was given.

A new perspective in pain management and opioid withdrawal relief

We are proud to share an article in Dagens Industri about our groundbreaking work with PN6047. Our promising drug candidate not only has the potential to revolutionise pain relief but has also caught the attention of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) for its role in opioid withdrawal treatment. Per von Mentzer, our CEO, states: "Our work with PN6047 could open new paths in pain relief. Particularly in neuropathic pain, our research could lead to new insights and novel treatment approaches in various clinical areas." PN6047, a selective DORA, offers a new perspective on both pain management and opioid withdrawal treatment. The results from the Phase I study show promising safety and tolerance, paving the way for further studies on its effects on opioid withdrawal syndrome.
