Scientific Paper Makes Case for ZyVersa’s Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor; Shares Jump 36%
Specialty biopharmaceutical company, ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZVSA) has announced that acclaimed inflammasome researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and inventors of Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100, have published a scientific paper in the peer-reviewed journal, Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, highlighting the relationship between inflammasome-mediated inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease and heart inflammation. ZyVersa’s shares climbed nearly 40% in morning trading on Monday following the news.
ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 to inhibit multiple types of inflammasomes, including NLRP1 and pyrin, and their associated ASC specks that trigger damaging inflammation and its spread to surrounding tissues.
“This research reinforces the importance of attenuating activation of multiple types of inflammasomes that govern the inflammatory response in AD and mediating systemic inflammatory signals in EVs to control the spread of damaging inflammation to cardiovascular and other cells,” commented Stephen C. Glover, ZyVersa’s Co-founder, Chairman, CEO, and President.
“ZyVersa’s Inflammasome ASC inhibitor IC 100 is designed to inhibit formation of multiple types of inflammasomes to attenuate initiation of the inflammatory cascade and to inhibit their associated ASC specks to reduce spread and perpetuation of damaging inflammation.”
