“While smoking cessation and nicotine addiction continue to be our primary focus, it is critically important that we continue to expand our intellectual property portfolio through patent extensions and future potential indications of cytisinicline,” stated Rick Stewart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Achieve.
Achieve said the patented analogs will now provide the opportunity for the selective targeting of nAChRs in the brain to treat several conditions such as Alzheimers disease, depression, anxiety schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and addiction.
The company also separately announced that it has executed a 1:20 reverse split of its common stock.
