• Sustained exposure to OV329 in preclinical models reduced GABA-aminotransferase (GABA-AT) activity, increased steady state GABA levels in the brain, and induced phasic and tonic inhibition
  
   
• OV329 demonstrated anti-convulsant effects in mice, reducing the severity of status epilepticus and preventing the development of benzodiazepine-resistant seizures
  
   
• OV329 was shown to have a higher potency (as measured by IC50) for the GABA-AT target than published studies of vigabatrin, an FDA-approved GABA-AT inhibitor
  
   

NEW YORK, July 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:OVID), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by rare epilepsies and brain conditions, announced that eNeuro, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal from the Society for Neuroscience published several preclinical studies validating OV329's mechanism of action and anti-convulsant properties.
