NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB announced two new research agreements and the appointment of Professor Philippe Gallay, PhD, and Professor Massimo Pinzani, MD, PhD, FRCP, as scientific advisors. The aim of the agreements is to further explore NeuroVive's new drug compounds in development for the treatment of NASH and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the new collaboration with Philippe Gallay, the research teams will explore the mechanisms of action of the potent anti-cancer effects of NeuroVive's novel sanglifehrin-based compounds. These studies will be an important part in NeuroVive's HCC lead candidate selection process. In the collaboration with Massimo Pinzani, the research groups at Engitix Ltd. and NeuroVive will assess the anti-fibrotic properties of NV556 by using Engitix' human liver 3D models. The models offer an important opportunity to evaluate and validate effects in appropriate pathophysiological conditions.
