Neuropathix, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania focused on the research and development of pain management and neuroprotective therapeutics.
In 2016, through the company's subsidiary Kannalife, Neuropathix discovered KLS-13019 along with other therapeutic agents that prevent neuropathic pain, mitochondrial dysfunction, reduce oxidative stress, and act as anti-inflammatory neuroprotectants. Both KLS-13019 and cannabidiol, prevented the development of CIPN, while only KLS-13019 uniquely reversed neuropathic pain from chemotherapy. KLS-13019 binds to fewer biological targets than cannabidiol and KLS-13019 may possess the unique ability to reverse addictive behaviour, an effect not observed with cannabidiol. Neuropathix family of monotherapeutic small molecules are focused on treating oxidative stress-related diseases, inflammation, chronic pain management and neurodegenerative disorders.
In late 2021, Neuropathix subsidiary Kannalife, was awarded a non-dilutive three-year $2.97 Million grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). The three-year study grant is funded through the NIH HEAL Initiative (Helping End Addiction Long-term) for enhanced pain management and provides funding specifically in the Development of KLS-13019 for Neuropathic Pain.
Neuropathix is currently conducting research and development at the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center of Bucks County to treat Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, Hepatic encephalopathy, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and CTE.
