Paul, the competition issue is to complicate and unknown to be explain in short way. Sibia has unique screening technology (licensed from SALK Institute) and it screens library of small molecules (Lilly) and small peptides (exicitiory aminoacid , Ciba/Novartis) for CNS disorder. To my knowledge they didn't yet announced any promising molecules for Stroke/TBI.
Sibia has patents covering small molecule for Parkinson's (they initiate PI)-specific ion channel receptor subtype is target. All this indicate ( accounting other companies who are developing drugs for CNS disorder) that it is very difficulty to develop specific agonist/antagonist for one (of many) subtype IC receptor in CNS. Also, they have not to interfere with other IC receptors in whole body.
CNSI is now ahead from other developer, and (we all hope isn't it) with successful clinical trials enter in to market with Cerestat as first and only IC NMDA receptor antagonist.
CNSI has patents covering library of small molecule as specific non-competitive NMDA antagonist, other IC receptor agonist/antagonist, and small peptides as neuron grow factors.
Hope, this will help.
