Approximately 13% of approved drugs have mechanisms involving the modulation of ion channel activity, which makes ion channels the second-largest mechanistic class of marketed compounds. Currently approved drugs address important disease areas including diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, anxiety, and pain.
Approximately 35% of agents in development have big pharma sponsorship, with the remaining 65% under development by smaller biotech. CNS indications account for 45% of development programs. Agents in late-stage development include several first-in-class agents acting at the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator, and new NMDA and AMPA antagonists.
Earlier-stage programs focus on selective Nav blockers (following on from genetic validation of Nav1.7 involvement in pain), subtype-selective NMDA and AMPA blockers, and a large number of TRP family members for a variety of indications.
Features and benefits
• Understand the competitive landscape in ion channel modulation and compare the pipelines of specialist companies operating in this area
• Identify the most promising targets from a "likelihood of success" viewpoint.
• Identify the targets with scope for ion channel intervention and major market opportunity.
• Understand which advances in target discovery, technology, and clinical development will have biggest impact to move the area forward.
• Benchmark available technologies against the gold standard for ion channel discovery.
