BioXcel announces publication of non-clinical study on dexmedetomidine in Frontiers in Pharmacology
BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc.
- Study shows dexmedetomidine potently and reversibly regulates stress-mediated behaviors.
- Dexmedetomidine exhibited higher in vitro potency than clonidine, lofexidine, or guanfacine.
- Mitigated responses to acute and repeated stress after both acute and repeated dosing, with no loss of effect.
- No withdrawal effects; no impact on motor function or cognition vs. diazepam or scopolamine.
- Results support BXCL-501's potential for stress-related disorders beyond acute agitation.
