Artelo Biosciences a Finalist in J&J Dermatology Innovation Challenge

New York, March 13, 2023 - PRISM MarketView - Clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), has been named a finalist in Johnson & Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) Innovation Challenge in dermatology. The event is by invitation only and seeks novel approaches to treating atopic dermatitis from companies around the world.

The company is developing ART26.12, a Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP) inhibitor, is a potent and selective inhibitor of FABP5 being developed as a novel, peripherally acting, non-opioid, non-steroidal analgesic, with an initial clinical study planned for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Artelo has demonstrated ART26.12’s positive effects in preclinical psoriasis models. In vitro, ART26.12 was found to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and to increase antimicrobial peptides in reconstructed human epidermis. In vivo, oral treatment with ART26.12 reduced scaling, skin thickness, and histopathological signs of damage.

Epidermal FABP is highly expressed in skin and immune cells and plays a key role in skin cell homeostasis. FABP5 is upregulated in numerous dermatological conditions, promoting inflammation and correlating with disease severity.

Artelo presented preclinical dermatology research on ART26.12 in San Diego, California, on March 11, 2024, concurrent with the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting.
