CARDIFF, CA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - NI Research has released the March issue of NeuroInvestment, which reviews the status and prospects of migraine therapeutics. Triptans are successful, but far from perfect in terms of rapidity and duration of effect, and the cardiovascular side effect profile. The next generation of migraine therapeutics involves two main categories: alternative delivery methods, primarily for rapid migraine relief, and novel mechanisms of action.

Among the companies developing alternative delivery methods are Alexza Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: [ ALXA ]), NuPathe, MAP, and Zogenix. Novel mechanism of action drugs reviewed include CGRP-antagonists from Merck and Boehringer-Ingelheim; mGluR5 antagonists from Addex Pharmaceuticals, AMPA/kainate antagonists from Torrey Pines Therapeutics (NASDAQ: [ TPTX ]); NOS inhibitors from NeurAxon; and a 5HT-1f drug from CoLucid.

The March issue of NeuroInvestment also assesses Lundbeck's acquisition of Ovation Pharmaceuticals; the safety questions that remain unresolved regarding neural stem cell implantation; and evaluates Accera, which has just launched Axona as a 'medical food' for Alzheimer's.
