Phoenix has a broad IP platform including over two dozen novel analogs. PPL-138 is in IND submission with Phase I trials planned for Q3, 2025. This provides the company with multiple grant opportunities as well as the flexibility to develop different products for different markets (e.g. acute and chronic pain, addiction therapies, PTSD and PTSD/AUD (alcohol use disorder) comorbidity, animal therapies, etc.).

PPL-138 and other NOP Compounds

Phoenix Pharma Labs has exclusive license to 25 Nociceptin compounds called PPL-138. In December of 2014 a composition of matter patent covering all of the compounds was filed in the United States and Europe. It was issued in the US in May, 2018 and in Europe in November, 2020. It has been validated in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Formulations, processes and methods of synthesis as well as details concerning additional NCE variants in development are currently protected as trade secrets.

Phoenix Pharma Labs believes its unique compounds potentially offer pain sufferers, whether from acute or chronic conditions, new hope for potent pain relief without addiction or other serious opioid side effects. Additionally, our compounds offer significant potential for development as treatments for cocaine, methamphetamine, and other addictions. We intend to continue to develop new analogs within our portfolio of proprietary molecules.

PPL-138 Studies in Non-Human Primates:

  • Robust analgesic potency  >100x the potency of morphine
  • Long duration of action  >24 Hours
  • No euphoric “high” / abuse & addiction
  • No physical dependence or withdrawal
  • No respiratory depression / death from overdose
  • No Constipation – even at elevated doses.

PPL-138 binds to the NOP and mu receptors and then just partially stimulates those receptors. Both mu and NOP produce potent pain relief, but activation of the NOP receptor blocks the release of excessive dopamine, thus preventing the euphoria (and the resulting abuse & addiction).
