3Z Pharmaceuticals Publishes Breakthrough Study on Shared Metabolic Pathways in ADHD Therapeutics

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 3Z Pharmaceuticals, a CNS-focused therapeutic development specialist, today announced the publication of a groundbreaking study in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, unveiling novel insights into the metabolic mechanisms of ADHD treatments. This research, utilizing untargeted metabolomic and lipidomic profiling, addresses a critical knowledge gap in ADHD treatment. It reveals a convergence of molecular pathways among stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications and supports 3Z’s earlier announced discovery of amlodipine as an L-type calcium channel blocker candidate.

ADHD is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with complex underlying mechanisms and limited treatment options. While both stimulant and non-stimulant medications are widely used, their precise metabolic effects on the brain remain poorly understood.

“This study represents a major leap forward in our understanding of ADHD therapeutics,” commented Dr. Karl Karlsson, CEO of 3Z Pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the study’s significance, “By leveraging advanced metabolomics and lipidomics, we have uncovered a shared metabolic signature across treatments—highlighting the potential of L-type calcium channel modulation as the foundation for a new non-stimulant ADHD therapy. These findings not only validate our drug discovery platform but also pave the way for much-needed new treatment options.”

To bridge this gap, 3Z Pharmaceuticals employed an advanced systems biology approach, integrating cross-species analysis using the zebrafish adgrl3.1 ADHD model with targeted metabolomic profiling to explore common metabolic pathways underlying ADHD therapeutics.

Key Findings from the Study:

  • Metabolic Pathway Convergence: The study demonstrated that existing ADHD treatments—methylphenidate, guanfacine, and atomoxetine—as well as the novel candidate amlodipine, modulate share metabolic pathways related to amino acid and lipid metabolism. These include glycine, serine, threonine, lysophosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin metabolism.
  • Systemic impact: Rather than acting through distinct, isolated mechanisms, ADHD medications appear to exert a broader, systemic impact on neurotransmitter precursors, oxidative stress markers, and energy metabolism.
  • Amlodipine’s Overlapping Effects with ADHD Medications: The metabolic profile of amlodipine significantly overlapped with that of established ADHD treatments, supporting L-type calcium channel engagement as a potential therapeutic pathway for ADHD.

Full Study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022356525396163 

Building on these findings, 3Z Pharmaceuticals is advancing its metabolomics-driven approach to CNS drug discovery, focusing on refining therapeutic targets and optimizing treatment strategies for future clinical development.

Elder Joe Michael, also known as “Dr. Joe Mike” brings decades of leadership, cultural wisdom, and advocacy for Indigenous communities, which will be invaluable to MDC’s mission of fostering Indigenous-led economic development and community empowerment.

Elder Joe Michael was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humanities from Acadia University in 2019 in recognition of his lifelong dedication to community service, cultural preservation, and leadership. He was notably the first Mi’kmaw member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), where he served for 25 years. Throughout his distinguished career, he bridged traditional Mi’kmaw knowledge with contemporary policing practices, leading to the development of the RCMP’s Aboriginal Community Policing model, which remains an integral part of cadet training at the RCMP Depot in Regina. As Detachment Commander, he also held the esteemed role of the RCMP’s Pipe Carrier, performing sacred ceremonies and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Most recently, Elder Joe was appointed to the Mi’kmaq Grand Council, the traditional governing body representing Mi’kmaw people, where he serves as a Captain (Keptin). His work on the council focuses on strengthening community connections, preserving Mi’kmaw history, and advocating for the well-being of Indigenous people in the region. His recent knighthood from the Order of St. George, where he was honored with the title “Chevalier Joe Michael,” further underscores his lifelong commitment to “faith, service, and honor.”

“Having Elder, Sir Joe Michael join the MDC Advisory Board is both an honor and a significant milestone for us,” said Jeff Ciachurski. “His extensive leadership experience, profound cultural insights, and deep connection to the Mi’kmaq Nation will guide MDC as we continue to develop initiatives that honor Indigenous traditions while advancing meaningful economic reconciliation and creating equitable opportunities for Indigenous communities.”

Elder Joe’s appointment reinforces MDC’s commitment to culturally grounded leadership and highlights Captiva Verde’s dedication to supporting Indigenous-led development projects through meaningful collaboration and community engagement.

“Joining the MDC Advisory Board is a generational opportunity to accelerate a new future where First Nations communities and businesses are equitably participating in Canada’s open trading economy, including new sectors like aviation and military equipment,” said Elder Sir Joe Michael. “I am proud to support a Mi’kmaq company that is breaking new ground and creating meaningful opportunities for our people.”
