Use of proceeds
The net proceeds of the Subscription will be deployed to accelerate Solvonis' AI supported central nervous system drug discovery programme, which is initially focused on major depressive disorder and stimulant use disorder, being two therapeutic areas with significant unmet needs and limited innovation. The global antidepressant drug market was valued by Global Market Insights, the global market research and management consulting company catering to corporations, non-profits, universities, and government agencies, at approximately £15 billion in 2024. Global Market Insights projects this to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.5% through to 2034. Meanwhile, stimulant use disorders, such as those related to cocaine and amphetamine dependence, remain underserved by the pharmaceutical industry, with no FDA-approved medications currently available, despite the substantial public health burden they represent (source: U.S. Veterans Affairs Health Services R&D).
Solvonis is uniquely positioned to address both of these high-burden conditions through its AI enabled, central nervous system focused R&D platform. This R&D platform integrates proprietary compound libraries, predictive modelling and rapid translational tools to drive discovery in areas traditionally marked by low investment and slow innovation.
The proceeds from the Subscription will enable the Company to accelerate lead identification and early-stage candidate validation across these two core therapeutic indications.
