Catalyst files US provisional patent application for GABA aminotransferase inhibitors

PBR Staff Writer Published 10 February 2012

Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners has filed US provisional patent application for the use of GABA aminotransferase inhibitors, including CPP-109 and CPP-115, in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome.

Catalyst's intellectual property is a method of treating Tourette Syndrome using GABA aminotransferase inhibitor drugs, including CPP-109 and CPP-115.

The method increases presynaptically stored GABA, and enhance GABA signaling in the striatal-thalamo-cortical tracts involved in habit formation and motor control.

Catalyst CEO Patrick McEnany said the use of CPP-109 and CPP-115 in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome may provide them with significant CNS expansion opportunities while addressing an important medical need.
