About VistaGen

VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTGN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new generation medicines for depression and other CNS disorders. VistaGen’s lead CNS product candidate, AV-101, is in Phase 2 development, initially as a new generation oral antidepressant drug candidate for major depressive disorder (MDD). AV-101′s mechanism of action is fundamentally different from all FDA-approved antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics used adjunctively to treat MDD, with potential to drive a paradigm shift towards a new generation of safer and faster-acting antidepressants. AV-101 is currently being evaluated by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in a small Phase 2 monotherapy study in MDD being fully funded by the NIMH and conducted by Dr. Carlos Zarate Jr., Chief, Section on the Neurobiology and Treatment of Mood Disorders and Chief of Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch at the NIMH. VistaGen is preparing to launch a 180-patient Phase 2 study of AV-101 as an adjunctive treatment for MDD patients with an inadequate response to standard, FDA-approved antidepressants, with Dr. Maurizio Fava of Harvard University as Principal Investigator. AV-101 may also have the potential to treat multiple CNS disorders and neurodegenerative diseases in addition to MDD, including neuropathic pain, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease levodopa-induced dyskinesia and other disorders where modulation of the NMDA receptors, activation of the AMPA neurotransmitter pathways and/or key active metabolites of AV-101 may achieve therapeutic benefit.

Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Key to Success: Reading Chinese Consumer Buying Habits, Then Marketing Analytics to Business Clients


  • Study: Chinese consumers want to achieve greater social status through established brands, foreign goods and luxury merchandise
  • MOXC sells sophisticated data to clients on what and why Chinese consumers are buying, helping translate information into efficient and effective marketing campaigns. The company is perfectly positioned between buyers and sellers
  • Research finds that, in fashion, Chinese consumers want green and face-saving products

Moxian, Inc.’s (NASDAQ: MOXC) ability to attract, read, and develop real time analytics on the shopping habits of Chinese consumers in the online-to-offline (O2O) market, then selling that research to its business clients, is a vital part of its growth strategy.

MOXC is a Shenzhen, China-based company with a platform of two paid apps: Moxian+ Business and Moxian+ User. It is an integrated O2O platform operator. Sales come from paid subscriptions to those two apps, and from other related revenue streams. By developing these two apps, MOXC serves consumers and, by reading their buying habits, a growing list of business clients that wish to retail to them. MOXC is perfectly positioned between the two.

Revenue streams include targeted mobile advertising, commissions on payment processing from its China UnionPay processing module, and selling analytics and sophisticated sales data in real time to its business clients based upon the buying patterns of customers. By using the rewards of its own Mo-Points and Mo-Coins, it creates loyalty to Moxian+ User games and its social media network. Through its UnionPay module, it also supports payments from the popular AliPay and WeChat Pay.

A study of Chinese buying habits by MarketingToChina (http://dtn.fm/z8sIs) has shown that, while Chinese consumers have embraced e-commerce and want branded luxury goods, they are unique because they are often mistrustful and feel more secure with third-party payment systems, as offered by MOXC. Social media platforms are important to them, and MOXC offers that too, with Moxian+ User’s social media network and games. There are benefits to the Chinese community’s increased use of the digital market, and MOXC can read their motivations for their Moxian+ Business clients.

An example of the kind of information of value to MOXC clients: In fashion, Chinese consumers want green products and face-saving items, according to a study by The Institute of Textiles and Clothing (http://dtn.fm/QuEo5) in Hong Kong. This reflects their desire to meet social norms in all situations. They are also well aware that some Chinese apparel makers may have in the past abused the environment through water pollution. The Chinese consumer is sophisticated and wants a good public image — and will pay for it.
