Products
Clinical-stage small molecule modulating neuroinflammation and reducing pathological protein burden
An orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant small molecule developed to attenuate microglial and astrocytic activation, reduce misfolded protein burden and improve motor/functional endpoints in preclinical models; progressed through Phase 1 safety and PK studies in healthy volunteers.
Alpha-synuclein misfolding/oligomerization inhibitor advanced via partner collaboration
A brain-penetrant small molecule series designed to prevent misfolding and oligomerization of alpha-synuclein, discovered through structure-based approaches and advanced into clinical development through a partner-led program.
