In this manuscript, the authors introduce novel and emerging treatments for PTSD, including drugs in various stages of development and clinical testing (BI 1358894, BNC-210, PRAX-114, JZP-150, LU AG06466, NYV-783, PH-94B, SRX246, TNX-102), established agents and known compounds being investigated for their utility in PTSD (brexpiprazole, cannabidiol, doxasoin, ganaxolone, intranasal neuropeptide Y, intranasal oxytocin, tianeptine oxalate, verucerfont), and emerging psychedelic interventions (ketamine, MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy), with an aim to examine and integrate these agents into the underlying pathophysiological frameworks of trauma-related disorders."

BNC210, a negative allosteric modulator of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, demonstrates anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects in rodents. (PubMed, Neuropharmacology) - "Further testing for potential adverse effects in suitable rat and mouse tests showed that BNC210 did not produce sedation, memory and motor impairment or physical dependence, symptoms associated with current anxiolytic therapeutics. These data suggest that allosteric inhibition of α7 nAChR function may represent a differentiated approach to treating anxiety and stress-related disorders with an improved safety profile compared to current treatments."

Development of an Improved Oral Tablet Formulation of BNC210, a Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Alpha 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor, Suitable for Evaluation as an Acute Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder (ACNP 2022) - P2 | "The only FDA-approved drugs for SAD are select antidepressants (fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine, venlafaxine) which are not suitable for acute treatment due to their slow (2-4 weeks) onset of action. BNC210 has been reformulated into a tablet with improved PK properties, potentially making it suitable for PRN use in an outpatient setting for the treatment of SAD. Drug exposure is no longer dependent on concomitant food intake, allowing for maximal plasma concentrations to be reached after approximately 1 to 1.5 hours after dose administration. This means that BNC210 could be taken just prior to an anticipated anxiety-provoking event such as a performance or social event."

Pharmacometrics Analysis and Drug Reformulation of BNC210 to Optimize Its Evaluation in a Phase 2 Trial in PTSD Patients (ACNP 2022) - P2, P2b | "The population PK model showed that exposure from the BNC210 liquid suspension formulation was insufficient to achieve efficacy in the RESTORE PTSD study where estimated mean AUC at steady state for the 600 mg b.i.d dose group was only 10,900 ng.hr/mL at Week 12. However, the pharmacometrics model predicted the potential for BNC210 to have benefit in PTSD provided that adequate blood levels could be achieved. These analyses, as well as the development of the new tablet formulation, justified further evaluation of BNC210 in PTSD patients and provided a basis for optimal design of the ongoing Phase 2b trial to demonstrate efficacy in PTSD (ATTUNE Study, NCT04951076); top line data are expected in mid-2023."
