SYT-510 is an endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor, or "selective endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor" ("SERI"), which is under development for the treatment of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and traumatic stress disorders. [2] [1] [3] [4] It is said to mildly and selectively increase levels of endocannabinoids like anandamide via inhibition of a newly identified biological target. [4] [2] As of January 2024, the drug is in the preclinical stage of development or is entering phase 1 clinical trials for the preceding indications. [2] [1] [4] [3] It is under development by a pharmaceutical company called Synendos Therapeutics. [2] [1] [3]
Five years after incorporation, Synendos Therapeutics has completed non-clinical development of the [selective endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor (SERI)] drug candidate SYT-510 and has initiated Phase 1 clinical development in healthy volunteers, marking the significant transition into a clinical stage biotech company. The mission of Synendos is to develop breakthrough safe and effective therapies for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders through modulation of the [endocannabinoid system (ECS)] with SERIs to enable restoration of the natural functioning of the brain.
