Wex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") is a neuro-
bioscience company, federally incorporated in Canada in
1992, dedicated to the discovery of medicine for the management
of pain in order to minimize human suffering. The Company is a
leader in the extraction, refinement and manufacture of
Tetrodotoxin (TTX), a purified complex, non-protein toxin
extracted from the puffer fish. The Company initially identified
TTX for use in the management of pain and other symptoms
associated with withdrawal from prescription and non-
prescription opiates, and used the trade name Tetrodinâ„¢
for this indication. The Company also conducted research on the
analgesic effects of TTX in order to determine the potential
for the market for the management of chronic and acute pain.
The trade name Tectinâ„¢ is used for these potential analgesic
indications. In animal studies involving TTX, the potential of
the drug substance for use as a local or regional anesthetic
was also identified. The Company uses the trade name Tocudinâ„¢
for these anesthetic indications.
Since the company's public listing on the Canadian Ventures
Exchange in 1992 to the present, substantial capital has
been directed to the research and development of various drugs,
and subsequently, the protection of our intellectual knowledge
by filing multiple patents. The lead products, Tetrodinâ„¢ and
Tectinâ„¢ are being processed through the regulatory channels for
approvals in Canada, United States and Europe, and ultimately
pharmaceutical sales.
