BEN-2293 is expected to provide both symptomatic relief
and to reverse disease progression in atopic dermatitis
BEN-2293 is highly selective for Trk receptors, with IC50
potencies in the low nM range for TrkA, B, and C
●
BEN-2293 dose dependently inhibits release of
inflammatory Th1 and Th2 cytokines TNFa, IFNY, IL-13,
and IL-4 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(PBMCs) stimulated with an inflammatory T-cell stimulus
(anti-CD3/CD28)
● BEN-2293 inhibits the release of Calcitonin
Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP), a mediator of itch,
sensory nerve hypersensitisation and neurogenic
inflammation, in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) isolated from
adult rats and stimulated with NGF
BEN-2293 demonstrates excellent tolerability and
safety margins in IND/CTA-enabling toxicology studies
Key: Tropomyosin-related kinase (Trk) receptor tyrosine kinase
family, namely TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC; Nerve Growth Factor
(NGF); Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF);
Neurotrophin-3 (NTF-3)/NT3
