Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Longboard) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, transformative medicines for neurological diseases. Longboard was formed in January 2020 by Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Arena) to advance a portfolio of centrally acting product candidates designed to be highly selective for specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Longboard`s small molecule product candidates were discovered out of the same platform at Arena that represents a culmination of more than 20 years of GPCR research. Longboard is evaluating LP352, an oral, centrally acting, 5-hydroxytryptamine 2c receptor subtype superagonist, in development for the potential treatment of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Longboard is also evaluating LP143, a centrally acting, full cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist, in development for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases associated with neuroinflammation caused by microglial activation, and LP659, a centrally acting, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor subtypes 1 and 5 modulator, in development for the potential treatment of central nervous system neuroinflammatory diseases.
Excerpted from the website: Chimerix discovers, develops and commercializes orally-available, antiviral therapeutics for a broad range of viral diseases, including cytomegalovirus, multi-drug resistant HIV infection and human papilomavirus.
Theseus is a biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients through the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative targeted therapies. Theseus is developing next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs): "pan-variant" targeted therapies that address all major drug resistance mutations. Theseus` lead product candidate, THE-630, is a pan-variant KIT inhibitor for the treatment of patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), whose cancer has developed resistance to earlier lines of kinase inhibitor therapy. Theseus is also developing a fourth-generation, selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor for C797S-mediated resistance to first- or later-line osimertinib treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Albany Molecular Research is a Albany, NY-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Respira Therapeutics, Inc., founded in 2010 with offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a development stage inhaled pharmaceutical development company focused on commercializing its "best in class", high efficiency AOS-DPI, dry powder inhaler (DPI) drug delivery technology to deliver RT234, a proprietary inhaled formulation of an off patent oral drug via the lung to treatment of multiple orphan indications in the fields of pulmonary hypertension and other diseases. Investors in Respira include Cottonwood Technology Fund and Sun Mountain Capital and individual investors. To date Respira has performed extensive testing demonstrating its advanced AOS-DPI prototypes can deliver 2-3X more drug to the lung than commercially available DPI technologies. Respira is planning proof of concept clinical trials of an inhaled formulation of RT234 in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients in the near future.
