Aytu BioScience, Inc. is a specialty healthcare company focused on developing treatments for urological and related conditions. The Company is currently completing Phase 3 clinical development for its lead therapeutic candidate Zertane™, an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulated specifically for the on-demand treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). The Company`s therapeutic pipeline is supported in part by its first-in-class RedoxSYS® System, which provides the only complete assessment of patients` redox status and enables identification of a broad variety of disorders where redox is implicated. Clinical studies are underway utilizing the RedoxSYS system in male fertility. The Company also recently acquired and is commercializing FDA-approved ProstaScint® (capromab pendetide), a radio-labeled monoclonal antibody, that targets Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a protein uniquely expressed by prostate tissue. The Company`s strategy is to develop its core therapeutic and diagnostic assets while building an innovative pipeline of established marketed products and late-stage development assets.
MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.
Forge Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing novel medicines by combining bio-inorganic with medicinal chemistry to target metalloproteins. Forge has developed a fundamentally new approach for the discovery of metalloprotein inhibitors by focusing first on the metal in the enzyme active site.
