The Autism Spectrum Disorder Pipeline Report also highlights the unmet needs with respect to the Autism Spectrum Disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Autism Spectrum Disorder Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Some people with ASD have a known difference, such as a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known. Scientists believe there are multiple Autism Spectrum Disorde causes that act together to change the most common ways people develop. People with ASD may behave, communicate, interact, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. There is often nothing about how they look that sets them apart from other people. The abilities of people with ASD can vary significantly. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered the broad term for autism, but three separate sub-types fit within the ASD category. The 3 types of autism are: Autistic Disorder, Asperger&rsquo;s Syndrome and Pervasive Development Disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Autism Spectrum Disorder Emerging Drugs Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>AST-001: Astrogen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AST-001 is a small-molecule drug developed by Astrogen to treat Autism Spectrum Disorder. AST-001 functions as an L-isomer of serine, which plays a critical role in various neurological processes. It has been shown to improve social deficits and restore dopamine neuron activity in preclinical models of ASD. The drug enhances dopamine neuron firing through the normalization of specific ion channel activities, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for improving social interaction and cognitive function in patients with ASD. It targets neurological mechanisms to improve core symptoms in ASD patients and has advanced to Phase III clinical trials following regulatory approval in South Korea.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>ML004: MapLight Therapeutics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ML-004 is MapLight&rsquo;s lead clinical compound. Its selective pharmacological properties of make it a highly specific therapy with limited side effects. The company is developing ML-004 for multiple indications, including sociability and irritability in ASD and agitation and aggression in Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>AJA001: Ajna BioSciences<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AJA001 is a full-spectrum cannabinoid formulation derived from Cannabis sativa, designed specifically for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
