Carlsbad, CA, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palisade Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALI) (“Palisade,” “Palisade Bio,” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and advancing novel therapeutics for patients living with autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases, today announced that the China National Intellectual Property Administration has issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent covering PALI-2108, the Company’s novel, locally-activated, terminal ileum and colon-targeted phosphodiesterase-4 B/D (PDE4 B/D) inhibitor being developed for fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease (FSCD) and moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).

Once issued, the allowed patent titled, “Gut Microbiota-Activated PDE4 Inhibitor Prodrug,” will cover claims on the composition of matter for PALI-2108 in China with a base patent term currently extending into 2045, subject to extension to account for time required to fulfill requirements for regulatory approval.

Finley, Chief Executive Officer of Palisade Bio. “This Notice of Allowance in China bolsters our ability to protect long-term value in one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets, further supporting both our clinical and strategic objectives. We remain highly confident in the potential of PALI-2108 and are diligently executing on multiple near-term clinical milestones and expected data readouts in the next 12-18 months, each of which, if successful, would represent a major value inflection point.”
