This initiative builds on the company’s recent work, which has identified a novel mechanism of action targeting the underlying biological processes involved in nicotine addiction. With this presentation, NFL Biosciences aims to illustrate this new paradigm in an accessible way and to reaffirm its strategy of capitalizing on this differentiating mechanism in the clinical development of its drug candidate, NFL-102.
Unlike current smoking cessation treatments, which primarily act on nicotinic receptors to reduce withdrawal symptoms, NFL-102 acts downstream of these receptors by modulating key signaling pathways involved in neuronal plasticity. It targets the CREB regulator, identified as a central player in the lasting changes to neural circuits associated with addiction, as well as astrogliosis, thereby helping to mitigate the neurobiological impact of smoking and the risk of relapse.
This approach paves the way for a paradigm shift in smoking cessation, moving beyond the management of withdrawal symptoms to focus on normalizing the brain changes caused by chronic exposure to nicotine.
In parallel with this outreach effort, NFL Biosciences plans to present these results at international scientific conferences. The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) also intends to submit this work for publication in a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, to contribute to its validation by the scientific community.
NFL Biosciences is thus continuing the development of NFL-102, intended for the general smoking population, with the goal of offering a therapeutic approach designed to increase the success rate of smoking cessation and sustainably reduce the risk of relapse.
