Social dysfunction characterises a number of socially deficit mental disorders that affects social functioning.[1][2] Social dysfunction is a core symptom of social anxiety disorder (social phobia), autism, dementia, PTSD, schizophrenia and some personality disorders.[1][2][3]
Oxytocin receptor agonists, like oxytocin and LIT-001, and CA7 are of theoretical interest in the potential medical treatment of social dysfunction.[2][4][3]

Kinoxis' second series of compounds target the oxytocin receptor, through either selective partial agonism or positive allosteric modulation. The brain oxytocin system has been identified as perhaps the most important molecular target for regulating social behaviour and is therefore a major target of interest for treating a wide range of mental disorders. The development of these compounds will be focused on treating conditions that feature social dysfunction as a core symptom, such as neurodevelopmental disorders (including autism spectrum disorder), social anxiety disorder, dementia (including Alzheimer's disease), PTSD and schizophrenia. The KNX200 series of oxytocin receptor partial agonists are undergoing candidate selection stage using several pre-clinical animal disease models (Alzheimer's, PTSD, ASD) and the KNX300/400 series of oxytocin receptor positive allosteric modulators are undergoing lead optimisation.
