Thanks also for your comments on the extracts of magnolia, I am thinking of using it instead of Berberine for glucose control. I am also interested in its potential for adipogenesis (the subcutaneous, anti inflammatory kind). The only thing that remains as a question mark in my mind is the fact that honokiol can protect mitochondria, but also increase membrane permeability and cause apoptosis in cancer cells (via the transition pore). Here is the relevant study.

        Zilucoplan is a potent synthetic macrocyclic peptide inhibitor of C5, which is a clinically validated target for patients with PNH. We are developing zilucoplan as a convenient, self-administered product that can be administered in a small daily, or less frequent, such as weekly, dose. We believe this approach will facilitate sustained hemolysis suppression, greatly reducing the possibility of breakthrough hemolysis in eculizumab naïve and eculizumab switch patients who were transfusion-independent on eculizumab. In addition, we believe self-administration will alleviate the significant time and cost burden associated with regular intravenous infusions by healthcare professionals, as well as reduce complications associated with IV infusions, including infections, thrombosis, and loss of venous access.

designation was materially defective or if we are unable to assure sufficient quantities of the product to meet the needs of the relevant patients. Further, exclusivity may not effectively protect the product from competition because different drugs with different active moieties can be approved for the same condition, the same drugs can be approved for different indications and might then be used off-label in our approved indication, and different drugs for the same condition may already be approved and commercially available.

Others may obtain issued patents that could prevent us from commercializing Aramchol and any future product candidates or require us to obtain licenses requiring the payment of significant fees or royalties in order to enable us to conduct our business. As to those patents that we have licensed, our rights depend on maintaining our obligations to the licensor under the applicable license agreement, and we may be unable to do so.
