  • The FDA’s 505(b)(2) pathway is an underestimated engine of value creation
    The biopharma industry would do well to re-embrace the 505(b)(2) path, which allows sponsors to draw on previous findings around an existing drug even as they propose modifications to it.

MOA
12.1 Mechanism of Action Dextromethorphan is an uncompetitive antagonist of the NMDA receptor (an ionotropic glutamate receptor) and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The mechanism of dextromethorphan in the treatment of MDD is unclear. The mechanism of action of bupropion in the treatment of MDD is unclear; however, it may be related to noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic mechanisms. Bupropion increases plasma levels of dextromethorphan by competitively inhibiting cytochrome P450 2D6, which catalyzes a major biotransformation pathway for dextromethorphan. Bupropion is a relatively weak inhibitor of the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine and does not inhibit monoamine oxidase or the reuptake of serotonin.
indication
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE AUVELITY is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. AUVELITY is a combination of dextromethorphan, an uncompetitive N -methyl D -aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, and bupropion, an aminoketone and CYP450 2D6 inhibitor, indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.
