About Us

DemeRx is a clinical stage pharmaceutical development company advancing noribogaine for Alcohol Use Disorder.

Rising Star Award Winner

DemeRx-NB is advancing noribogaine in clinical trials to demonstrate its use as a safe and effective treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder.

 

  • Alcohol and drug abuse “hijacks” the brain’s reward centers. Painful cravings during early withdrawal drive an intractable cycle of relapse. 
  • Open label studies of ibogaine have demonstrated benefits in patients seeking to transition to sobriety. Recent studies demonstrate that drug turns on neuroplasticity in addiction circuits of the brain. 
  • Noribogaine is the active metabolite of ibogaine and a potent neuroplastogen without the side effects of ibogaine.
  • DemeRx plans to develop a daily dose formulation of DMX-1001 (Noribogaine) for the treatment of alcohol use disorder.
  • DemeRx offers licensing of intellectual property in the field of pharmaceuticals.

Bridging the research to clinical practice gap

Our Mission

We plan to advance oral dose formulations of noribogaine for patients in early recovery from alcohol use disorder to prevent relapse.

Result Driven

DemeRx will design clinical trials to demonstrate that noribogaine provides a fast and lasting effect on alcohol craving, maintenance of abstinence and avoidance of heavy drinking in moderate to severe alcoholic patients who seek treatment and successfully completed acute withdrawal.
