CRANBURY, N. J. , Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”) (NYSE American: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the particular melanocortin receptor system, announced that Paul Kayne, Ph. D., Vice President associated with Biological Sciences at Palatin, presented today at the [email protected] in Chicago, IL. The presentation was one of several in the ” [email protected] AAO 2022 – Therapeutics Showcase” general session.
Palatin’s presentation included an overview of its development pipeline of melanocortins with regard to inflammatory conditions, including several for ocular indications, plus a summary of the role associated with melanocortins within resolving inflammation. The presentation focused on Palatin’s research program with melanocortins in retinal disease, including genomics and proteomics data supporting the particular mechanism of action associated with melanocortins inside the resolution of swelling in retinal tissue.
Eyecelerator is a partnership between the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS). Its mission is to connect entrepreneurs, investors, companies, and physicians to advance ophthalmic innovation through live conferences, virtual programming, and a next-generation networking platform.
Palatin is currently conducting a Phase 3 clinical study with PL9643 in patients for the treatment of dry eye disease along with initial results expected in the second quarter associated with calendar year 2023.

Improvement in multiple signs plus symptoms has been achieved in the moderate in order to severe patient population after 2 weeks of dosing and at the particular 12-week visit. There were no safety signals identified and PL9643 had excellent ocular tolerability.
Palatin has a number of additional research programs intended for treatments associated with inflammatory problems, both ocular and non-ocular. These study programs include extensive studies on the genomics and proteomics supporting the mechanism of action plus role associated with melanocortins on the quality of irritation.

About Melanocortin Receptor Agonists plus Inflammation
The melanocortin receptor (“MCr”) system has effects on inflammation, immune system responses, metabolism, food intake, and sexual function. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, via use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have medically significant pharmacological effects.
Many tissues and immune cells located within the eye (and other places, pertaining to example the gut plus kidney) express melanocortin receptors, empowering our opportunity to directly activate natural pathways to resolve disease inflammation.
