Botanical Science Meets Global Market Demand
With MDD affecting over 280 million people worldwide and the global antidepressant market projected to reach $20 billion by 2030[1], ABV-1504 offers a differentiated, botanical-based alternative to traditional selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Derived from Polygala tenuifolia, the compound acts as a Norepinephrine Transporter (NET) inhibitor and has demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in Phase II clinical studies[2]. ABV-1504 aims to provide a safer, non-addictive, and better-tolerated long-term treatment for individuals suffering from depression.
