| Interim Financial Information | 1. Interim Financial Information Organization and Business The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2000 and is a public company. The Company’s common stock is listed in both the U.S. and Japan and trades on the NASDAQ Global Market and the JASDAQ Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring and developing novel, small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of serious diseases with unmet medical needs and a commercial focus on the U.S. market. The Company is currently focusing its development activities on MN-166 (Ibudilast) for the treatment of neurological disorders, MN-221(Bedoradrine), for the treatment of acute exacerbations of asthma, MN-001 (Tipelukast) for the treatment of NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), and MN-029 (Denibulin) for the treatment of solid tumors. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Research, Development and Patents Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel, facilities and depreciation, research and development supplies, licenses and outside services. Such research and development costs totaled $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 research and development costs totaled $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. The Company includes all external costs related to the filing of patents on developments in Research, Development and Patents expenses. Such patent-related expenses totaled $0.1 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, patent-related expenses totaled $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board “(IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts from Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP and IFRS. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current authoritative guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under US GAAP. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, a new accounting standard update on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and it should be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company. |

| Revenue Recognition | 2. Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Policy Revenues consist of milestone payments and research and development services. Milestone payments are recognized as revenue upon achievement of pre-defined scientific events, which require substantive effort, and for which achievement of the milestone was not readily assured at the inception of the agreement. Milestones that do not meet the criteria for accounting under the milestone method because the payments are solely contingent upon the performance of a third party are accounted for as contingent revenue. Research and development services are recognized as research costs are incurred over the period the services are performed. For all other revenue the Company recognizes revenues when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Genzyme Corporation In December 2005, Avigen, Inc. and Genzyme Corporation entered into an Assignment Agreement (Genzyme Agreement) in which Genzyme acquired certain gene therapy intellectual property, programs and other related assets from Avigen in exchange for an initial $12.0 million payment, and Avigen could receive additional development milestone payments, sublicensing fees and royalty payments based on the successful development of products by Genzyme utilizing technologies previously developed by Avigen. Avigen was subsequently acquired by the Company in December 2009 along with Avigen’s rights and obligations under the Genzyme Agreement. If Genzyme fails to diligently pursue the commercialization or marketing of products using the assigned technology, as specified in the Genzyme Agreement, some of the rights assigned could revert back to the Company at a future date. The development milestones outlined in the Genzyme Agreement do not meet the definition of a substantive milestone obligation under authoritative guidance on revenue recognition for milestone payments, as Genzyme is responsible for the development of the product and there is no further substantive service effort required by the Company. The Company determined that a non-substantive milestone in the Genzyme Agreement had been earned, and license revenue and a receivable of $6.0 million was recorded during 2013, as no future Company performance obligations exist. The Company received payment of the amount receivable in January 2014. Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd In October 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Kissei, to perform research and development services relating to MN-221 in exchange for a non-refundable upfront payment of $2.5 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is responsible for all costs to be incurred in the performance of these services. Certain of these research and development services were completed in 2013 and 2012, and the remaining services are expected to be delivered and completed at a future date. The Company assessed the deliverables in accordance with the authoritative guidance and concluded the existence of one deliverable, research and development services. As such, revenue is being recognized as the research and development services are performed. The amount received from Kissei, net of the amount recorded as revenue, is included on the balance sheet as long-term deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue as the remaining services are performed. Revenue recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was zero and $3,257, respectively. No revenue was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014. |

| Fair Value Measurements | 3. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, including money market accounts, of $13.5 million and $6.7 million measured at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are classified within Level 1. |

| Joint Venture | 4. Joint Venture The Company entered into an agreement to form a joint venture company with Zhejiang Medicine Co., Ltd. and Beijing Medfron Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. (formerly Beijing Make-Friend Medicine Technology Co., Ltd.) effective September 27, 2011. The joint venture agreement provides for the joint venture company, Zhejiang Sunmy Bio-Medical Co., Ltd. (“Zhejiang Sunmy” or “JV Company”), to develop and commercialize MN-221 in China and pursue additional compounds to develop. A sublicense agreement would be required under which Zhejiang Sunmy would license MN-221 from the Company and, as of the date of this filing, no such sublicense agreement has been entered into. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, in March 2012 the Company paid $680,000 for a 30% interest in Zhejiang Sunmy. The other parties to the joint venture agreement provided funding for their combined 70% interest. In December 2013, the Board of Directors of the JV Company agreed to amend the joint venture agreement to allow for the departure of Zhejiang Medicine Co., Ltd. subject to the approval of the government of the People’s Republic of China. Through the date of this filing, the Chinese government has not approved any amendment to the JV Company. Upon approval by the Chinese government, Beijing Medfron Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. and MediciNova will each have a 50% interest in the JV Company. Zhejiang Sunmy is a variable interest entity for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have a majority of the board seats and does not have power to direct or significantly influence the actions of the entity. The activities of Zhejiang Sunmy are accounted for under the equity method whereby the Company absorbs any loss or income generated by Zhejiang Sunmy according to the Company’s percentage ownership. At June 30, 2014, the investment is reflected as a long-term asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet which represents the investment in Zhejiang Sunmy, net of the Company’s portion of any generated loss or income. |

| Stock-based Compensation | 5. Stock-based Compensation Stock Incentive Plans In June 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2013 Plan, under which the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards to individuals who are then employees, officers, non-employee directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2013 Plan is the successor to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2004 Plan, which was in turn the successor to the Company’s 2000 General Stock Incentive Plan, or 2000 Plan (together, the Prior Plans). A total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan, plus “returning shares” that may become available from time to time. “Returning shares” are shares that are subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2004 Plan that expire or terminate prior to exercise or settlement, are forfeited because of the failure to vest, are repurchased, or are withheld to satisfy tax withholding or purchase price obligations in connection with such awards. Although the Company no longer grants equity awards under the Prior Plans, all outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plans will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock awards and the terms of the Prior Plans, as applicable. As of June 30, 2014, 2,563,327 options remain available for future grant under the 2013 Plan. Stock Options Options granted under the 2013 Plan and Prior Plans have terms of ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over a three or four year period. The exercise price of all options granted was equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
A summary of stock option activity and related information as of June 30, 2014 is as follows:
No options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 there were 38,085 options exercised, from which gross proceeds of $92,024 were received. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 there were 79,462 options exercised, from which gross proceeds of $193,951 were received. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $63,704. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, 300,000 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance. In addition, the shares reserved automatically increase each year by a number equal to the lesser of: (i) 15,000 shares; (ii) 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or (iii) such lesser amount as determined by the Board. The ESPP permits full-time employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions (which cannot exceed 15% of each employee’s compensation) at the lower of 85% of fair market value at the beginning of the offering period or the end of each six-month offering period. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 17,476 shares were issued under the ESPP, leaving 231,851 shares available for future issuance. Compensation Expense During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, options to purchase 95,000 shares of common stock were granted. Stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards and ESPP shares are reflected in total operating expenses for each respective year. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation related to stock options and ESPP was $231,321 and $363,586, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and the ESPP was $486,420 and $521,286, respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model for determining the estimated fair value and the stock-based compensation for stock-based awards to employees. The following table provides the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The ESPP assumptions for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are actual amounts, and the assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are weighted average amounts.
As of June 30, 2014, there was $1.3 million of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.11 years, on a straight-line basis. |

| Stockholders' Equity | 6. Stockholders’ Equity Kissei Stock Purchase In October 2011, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement by and between the Company and Kissei, Kissei purchased (i) an aggregate of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $2.50 per share, and (ii) 220,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $25.00 per share. In October 2011 the Company received gross proceeds of $7.5 million related to this purchase agreement. The purchase agreement contains a standstill agreement from Kissei that terminates if Kissei beneficially owns less than three percent of the Company’s outstanding voting stock. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock. The Series B Preferred ranks pari passu (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) with the common stock in liquidation and dividend rights. The holders of the Series B Preferred do not have voting rights, however, the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred is required for certain actions. Common Stock Purchase Agreement On August 20, 2012, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Aspire pursuant to which the Company could elect to sell Aspire, and Aspire would be obligated to purchase, up to an aggregate of $20 million of common stock over the two-year term of the agreement including $1.0 million in common stock purchased by Aspire in connection with execution of the agreement. The common stock purchase agreement with Aspire was terminated on October 17, 2013, and as of such date, the Company had completed sales to Aspire totaling 2,504,532 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.82 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million. At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreements On April 17, 2013, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity distribution agreement with Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., or MCUSA, pursuant to which the Company could sell common stock through MCUSA from time to time up to an aggregate offering price of $6.0 million. As of July 25, 2013, the Company had completed all available sales to MCUSA under this agreement, generating gross and net proceeds of $6.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively, on sales of 1,936,237 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.44 to $4.10 per share. On October 16, 2013, the Company entered into a second at-the-market equity distribution agreement with MCUSA pursuant to which the Company may sell common stock through MCUSA from time to time up to an aggregate offering price of $10.0 million. Under the terms of this agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed, no daily sale of an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock is to exceed the lower of $50,000 or 10% of the lower of the 5-day or 3-month average daily traded value of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ (unless 10% of the lower of the 5-day or 3-month average daily traded value of the Company’s common stock on the JASDAQ Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”) is greater, in which case the value from the TSE will be used) as of the date of the applicable issuance notice. The price per share is not to be less than the greater of $1.29 or the last available closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ. MCUSA agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its customary trading and sales practices and applicable laws, rules and regulations to sell shares of the Company’s common stock and is to sell such shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be “at the market.” The Company agreed to pay MCUSA an aggregate commission rate of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of any common stock sold under this agreement. MCUSA is under no obligation to purchase shares pursuant to this agreement and there are no assurances that MCUSA will be successful in selling shares. Proceeds from sales of common stock will depend on the number of shares of common stock sold to MCUSA and the per share purchase price of each transaction. The agreement with MCUSA provides both MCUSA and the Company the right to terminate the agreement in their discretion upon giving five business days written notice. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company has generated gross and net proceeds of $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, under this agreement on sales of 1,548,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.01 to $2.40 per share. Securities Purchase Agreement On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the investors 1,158,730 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.15 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 869,047 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $3.15 per share (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement closed on May 14, 2013. The warrants will expire on May 9, 2018 and may be exercised for cash or, if the current market price of common stock of the Company is greater than the per share exercise price, by surrender of a portion of the warrant in a cashless exercise. The aggregate purchase price for the shares and the warrants sold in the Private Placement was $3.7 million and associated expenses incurred were $0.3 million. In connection with the purchase by one investor of 158,730 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 119,047 shares of common stock, on May 29, 2013 the investor provided $51,389 additional consideration for the shares and the warrant, and the Company entered into an amendment to the warrant with the investor to reflect an exercise price of $3.38 per share.
The net proceeds for the shares and the warrants sold in the Private Placement of $3.4 million were allocated based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The fair value of the shares was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 9, 2013, and the fair value of the warrants based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. Common Stock Warrant In 2011, the Company consummated a firm-commitment underwritten public offering of 2,800,666 units at a price to the public of $3.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $8.25 million. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The shares of common stock and warrants are immediately separable and were issued separately. The warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, have a five-year term and an exercise price of $3.56 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 85,500 of these warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2014, 2,593,500 of these warrants remain outstanding and exercisable. In August 2012, the Company issued a warrant in exchange for investor relations services to purchase up to 130,000 of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.88 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date. As of June 30, 2014, the warrant was exercisable for 15,000 shares, and no further shares will vest. The warrant expires five years from the date of issuance. |

Interim Financial Information (Policies)
|
6 Months Ended |

Jun. 30, 2014
|
|
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. |
| Research, Development and Patents | Research, Development and Patents Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel, facilities and depreciation, research and development supplies, licenses and outside services. Such research and development costs totaled $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 research and development costs totaled $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. The Company includes all external costs related to the filing of patents on developments in Research, Development and Patents expenses. Such patent-related expenses totaled $0.1 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, patent-related expenses totaled $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board “(IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts from Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP and IFRS. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current authoritative guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under US GAAP. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, a new accounting standard update on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and it should be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company. |
| Revenue Recognition Policy | Revenue Recognition Policy Revenues consist of milestone payments and research and development services. Milestone payments are recognized as revenue upon achievement of pre-defined scientific events, which require substantive effort, and for which achievement of the milestone was not readily assured at the inception of the agreement. Milestones that do not meet the criteria for accounting under the milestone method because the payments are solely contingent upon the performance of a third party are accounted for as contingent revenue. Research and development services are recognized as research costs are incurred over the period the services are performed. For all other revenue the Company recognizes revenues when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. |
