Business summary
Achieve Life Sciences, Inc. is a late-stage clinical pharmaceutical company. The Company is engaged in development and commercialization of cytisinicline for smoking cessation and nicotine addiction. The Company’s product candidate, cytisinicline, is a naturally occurring, plant-based alkaloid. Cytisinicline is structurally similar to nicotine and has a well-defined, dual-acting mechanism of action that is both agonistic and antagonistic. Cytisinicline is a partial agonist that binds with high affinity to the alpha-4 beta-2, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. Through its dual-acting partial agonist/partial antagonist activity, cytisinicline helps reduce nicotine cravings, withdrawal symptoms and reward and satisfaction associated with smoking. It is developing cytisinicline as an aid to smoking cessation and treatment for nicotine addiction to address the limitations of both prescription drugs and of over the counter (OTC) products.

Key personnel
The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.
Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
