Its pipeline includes six clinical-stage product candidates, including fasedienol (PH94B), itruvone (PH10), PH15, PH80, and PH284, each an investigational agent belonging to a new class of drugs known as pherines, as well as AV-101, which is an oral antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). Pherines, which are administered as low-dose nasal sprays, are designed with a rapid-onset mechanism of action that activates chemosensory neurons in the nasal cavity and can impact key neural circuits in the brain without systemic uptake or direct activity on CNS neurons in the brain. PH94B is a synthetic investigational pherine from the androstane family.
