Cortex Pharmaceuticals (CORX) Presents at Rodman & Renshaw Conference

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: CORX) has multiple drug development programs targeted toward the treatment of brain-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive or central sleep apnea and drug-induced respiratory depression. One key program involves the development of positive allosteric modulators of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor (PAM-A compounds), which can prevent and/or rescue respiratory depression, a potentially lethal side effect of opiate analgesics or anesthetic agents such as propofol, without affecting the beneficial analgesic or anesthetic activity of such agents.
