Our Story

​

Sparian was co-founded by Gavril Pasternak, MD PhD and Jeff Reich, MD to develop therapeutics targeting the brain through innovative science and novel drug discovery.

​

Our first program focuses on arylepoxamides. The lead candidate is MP1000, a novel new analgesic discovered in the Pasternak Lab that targets a newly characterized receptor. MP1000 demonstrates potent analgesia, but lacks the side effects associated with traditional highly potent pain relievers.
