- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Recently Approved and Upcoming Treatments for Narcolepsy. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 10, 2021
Several new agents are being developed and tested as potential treatments for EDS and cataplexy associated with narcolepsy; these agents include novel oxybate formulations (once-nightly [FT218]; low sodium [JZP-258]), a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (AXS-12), and a product combining modafinil and an astroglial connexin inhibitor (THN102). This review summarises the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety/tolerability of recently approved and emerging treatments for narcolepsy.

Review, Journal: Advances in treatment of narcolepsy (Pubmed Central) - Oct 23, 2020 These new drugs include new hydroxybutyrate preparations (controlled release sodium hydroxybutyrate FT218, low sodium hydroxybutyrate JZP-258), selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (AXS-12), and modafinil combined with astroglial junction protein inhibitor (THN102). This paper reviews the recently approved drugs and potential treatments for narcolepsy.

Clinical, Journal: Pharmaco-fUS for Characterizing Drugs for Alzheimer's Disease - The Case of THN201, a Drug Combination of Donepezil Plus Mefloquine. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2020 As an example, we showed that although administration of donepezil or mefloquine alone at low dose had only very limited effects on the signal compared to the baseline, their combination produced marked hemodynamic effects in the hippocampus, in line with previously published behavioral data demonstrating a synergic interaction between both drugs. Thus, the present study provides new perspectives, (i) through the use of pharmaco-fUS, a new non-clinical imaging modality, to move forward drug discovery in AD and (ii) by the profiling of two drug treatments on brain dynamics, one used in AD: donepezil, and the other in development: donepezil combined with mefloquine (THN201) as a modulator of astrocyte network.

Journal: Cortico-Amygdala-Striatal Activation by Modafinil/Flecainide Combination. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 19, 2019 These regions, highly involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycle, emotions, and cognitive functions were hence quantitatively modulated by THN102. Data presented here provide the first evidence of a regional brain activation induced by THN102, currently being tested in a phase II clinical trial in narcoleptic patients.
