General Information:
Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals is a drug discovery and development company advancing novel neuroprotective therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative brain injuries. Astrocyte is developing the proprietary small molecule pharmaceutical agent AST-004 for acute administration to patients who have suffered a stroke, TBI, or concussion. This product would be by emergency responders or a medical professional within 24 hours of injury to limit neuronal damage and cell death. Our approach at Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals differs significantly from historical neuroprotective attempts as we focus on a non-neuronal cell type, the astrocyte, which is the most common cell type in the human brain and has only recently received broader attention as an important cellular target for therapeutic research.
