MPLT

MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating central nervous system disorders (CNS). Its lead product candidate, ML-007C-MA, is a fixed-dose combination of an M1/M4 muscarinic agonist, ML-007, co-formulated with a peripherally acting anticholinergic (PAC), which it is initially developing for the treatment of schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease psychosis (ADP). ML-007C-MA is designed to activate both M1 and M4 muscarinic receptors in the CNS to drive efficacy, while synchronizing the pharmacokinetics of the agonist and antagonist components to mitigate peripheral cholinergic side effects. Its second product candidate, ML-004, is a 5-HT1B/1D agonist that the Company is developing for the treatment of social communication deficit and/or irritability in autism spectrum disorder. It is also advancing two preclinical programs, ML-021 and ML-009.
