MediciNova has received allowances from the European Patent Office for two pending opioid analgesic patents, according to Equities.
Ibudilast, the company's lead drug development candidate for neurological conditions and pain, will be covered for use in drug addition and to enhance opioid analgesia in acute pain settings.
The patent is based on a preclinical study from pain researchers at the University of Colorado, which claims ibudilast uses four inhibitors to treat or prevent acute pain in combination with opioids, such as morphine or oxycodone.
