Reduce drug development failure ratesBuild, train, & validate machine-learning modelswith evidence-based and structured datasets.Build, train, & validate predictive machine-learning models with structured datasets.- Contraindications & Blackbox Warnings
- Avoid life-threatening adverse drug eventsImprove clinical decision support with information on contraindications & blackbox warnings, population restrictions, harmful risks, & more.Avoid life-threatening adverse drug events & improve clinical decision support.
- Pharmacodynamics
KD7040 demonstrates robust reduction of tactile allodynia in rodent models of pain, including the Chung model (peripheral neuropathy), the Bennet chronic constrictive injury model, and the capsaicin model of central sensitization. Preliminary data from GLP safety pharmacology and toxicology studies have defined a favorable safety profile for entry into the clinic.
- Mechanism of action
KD7040 is a potent, topically administered, inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) with greater than 200-fold and 2000-fold selectivity over nNOS and eNOS respectively.
