Tocudin™
To this end, the Company`s product candidate
intended for penetration of the anaesthesia niche is Tocudin™.
Tocudin™ is a product refined from an abundant
and naturally occurring sodium channel blocking compound called
tetrodotoxin (TTX) which, using the Company`s proprietary technology,
is extracted from the fugu, or blowfish.
Targeted at the local and topical anaesthetic market, for patients
undergoing surgery or procedures for which general anaesthesia (loss
of consciousness) may be impractical or unnecessary, Tocudin™
is currently undergoing intensive preclinical testing.
