Ovid Therapeutics Inc. Announces Resignation of Douglas Williams from Board and All Committees

Ovid Therapeutics Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on improving the lives of people affected by certain epilepsies and brain conditions with seizure symptoms. It is engaged in advancing a pipeline of novel, targeted small molecule candidates that modulate the intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved in neuronal hyperexcitability causative of seizures and other neurological symptoms. It develops OV888 (GV101), a potent and highly selective ROCK2 inhibitor, for the potential treatment of lesions associated with cerebral cavernous malformations and other brain disorders; OV329, a GABA-aminotransferase inhibitor, a potential therapy for treatment-resistant seizures; and OV350, a direct activator of the KCC2 transporter, for the potential treatment of epilepsies and other psychiatric conditions. It also has interest in the development and commercialization of soticlestat, which is a cholesterol 24-hydroxylase inhibitor for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.
