Nitrogen compounds can be classified as mineral or organic. Mineral compounds are essentially formed by the ammonium ion (NH4+), which is generated when ammonium salts are dissolved in water. Organic compounds, in contrast, are carbon and hydrogen compounds that contain a nitrogen atom. All organic nitrogen-containing compounds can be considered as derivatives of ammonia in which one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted by hydrocarbon radicals.
Longboard announced positive topline data from the PACIFIC Study evaluating bexicaserin (LP352), a potentially best-in-class and highly selective, oral, novel 5-HT2C receptor superagonist for seizures associated with a broad range of Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs). The analysis showed that bexicaserin achieved a median seizure reduction of 53.3% in countable motor seizures across the DEE study population. Longboard will rapidly advance bexicaserin's global Phase 3 trial.
