PainCeptor Pharma is a pharmaceutical company developing next generation
therapeutic drugs for the treatment of chronic and acute pain. PainCeptor's
therapeutic programs are concentrated on some of the most promising, novel,
yet scientifically validated therapeutic targets within the PNS (peripheral
nervous system). By focusing on modulating target receptors in the PNS,
PainCeptor expects to enhance the efficacy and avoid the many detrimental side
effects associated with today's pain drugs which act primarily in the CNS
(central nervous system). PainCeptor's development pipeline includes two lead
antagonist programs, targeting NGF/p75-TrkA and ASIC1a, and a third antagonist
program targeting ASIC3.
