Deaminooxytocin (DEMOXYTOCIN)

Phase 2 active Recombinant protein

Deaminooxytocin (generic name: DEMOXYTOCIN) is a demoxytocin drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development.

Deaminooxytocin is thought to work by mimicking the action of oxytocin, a hormone involved in social bonding and childbirth, but with a modified structure that allows it to be a small molecule.

Deaminooxytocin (DEMOXYTOCIN) is a small molecule drug of the demoxytocin class, originally developed by an unknown entity and currently owned by an unknown entity. Its target and exact mechanism of action are unknown. It is not FDA-approved for any indications. The commercial status of Deaminooxytocin is unclear, and it is unknown whether it is patented or available as a generic. Key safety considerations are also unknown.

Likelihood of approval
12.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • CNS / neurology attrition -3.0pp
    CNS drugs have historically high Phase 3 failure rates (notably in Alzheimer disease + major depression).
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2031–2034
EMA EU 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2032–2036 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2032–2036 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2032–2036 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

CDSCO IN 2032–2037 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2033–2037 +2.3 yr

Hover any row for the lag rationale. Lag estimates are reduced when the drug has FDA Breakthrough or EMA PRIME designation (sponsors file globally in parallel).

Mechanism of action

Imagine oxytocin as a key that unlocks a door in the brain, allowing social bonding and childbirth to happen. Deaminooxytocin is like a copy of that key, but with a few tweaks that make it work in a different way. This allows it to potentially treat conditions related to social bonding and childbirth, but more research is needed to understand its effects.
