AI Announces Publication of Data Supporting Potential of Liver Disease Treatment Candidate BF-114
- The study, led by Dr. Lopa Mishra and published in Cell Reports, provides new mechanistic evidence for role of BF-114 target 2-spectrin in obesity, MASLD, MASH, and HCC
- The findings suggest that targeting 2-spectrin with BF-114 can prevent the progression of liver diseases
- New data builds on earlier studies and further supports BF-114's potential to address major unmet needs in treating obesity-related liver diseases
- Dr. Lopa Mishra, a globally recognized expert in liver disease, has joined BullFrog AI's Scientific Advisory Board to provide strategic insights for advancing BF-114
MD - [INSERT DATE] - BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRG; BFRGW) ("BullFrog AI" or the "Company"),
a technology-enabled drug development company using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enable the successful development
of pharmaceuticals and biologics, today announced the publication of new research in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Reports supporting
the potential of BullFrog AI's drug candidate, BF-114 (SPTBN1 siRNA), in treating a range of liver diseases, including metabolic
dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), and hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC). The research was generated in a study led by Lopa Mishra, MD, Lopa Mishra, MD, professor of medicine, Merinoff Endowed Chair and
co-director of the Institute for Bioelectronic Medicine at Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, Cold Spring
research strengthens the scientific foundation for BF-114 and its potential role in addressing complex liver diseases," said Vin
Singh, CEO of BullFrog AI. "Dr. Mishra's work offers compelling evidence that our approach could change the treatment landscape
for these metabolic disorders."
Mishra's research demonstrates that 2-spectrin, a protein encoded by the SPTBN1 gene, mediates the effects of environmental
factors that drive the progression of MASH. By reducing 2-spectrin levels, BF-114 has been shown to halt the progression of MASLD
and MASH in animal models, while also reducing liver damage.
findings strengthen and extend previously published data from Dr. Mishra's laboratory that support BullFrog AI's development
of BF-114 for the treatment of obesity and liver diseases.
AI plans to leverage its proprietary AI-driven platform to analyze single-cell data from animal models and human patients. This analysis
will provide additional mechanistic understanding of the effects of SPTBN1 silencing in obesity and liver disease. The insights
gained are expected to inform the continued development of BF-114 and may potentially reveal additional therapeutic applications.
AI is also pleased to welcome Dr. Mishra to its Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Mishra will provide guidance as the Company advances its
BF-114 program. Dr. Mishra received her MBBS from the University of London and completed fellowships in Medicine and Gastroenterology
at Royal Northern/Whittington Hospital (London), Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. With over 100 peer-reviewed
publications relevant to the field and an H-Index of 66, her expertise will be instrumental in guiding the continued development of BF-114.
Mishra commented, "I am excited to join BullFrog AI's Scientific Advisory Board and continue our work in targeting SPTBN1.
The combination of BullFrog AI's approach to drug development and the promising results we've seen with BF-114 provides a
strong foundation for the continued exploration of its potential in treating obesity and liver diseases. I look forward to contributing
to the advancement of BF-114 and exploring its multiple therapeutic possibilities."
AI is a technology-enabled drug development company that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable the successful development
of pharmaceuticals and biologics. Through its collaborations with leading research institutions, including George Washington University,
BullFrog AI is at the forefront of AI-driven drug development. The company's proprietary bfLEAP artificial intelligence
platform is being used to develop BF-114 for obesity and liver diseases.
