Axsome Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for the treatment of CNS disorders. Axsome has a balanced portfolio of clinical development stage as well as research stage product candidates. The company is based in New York City.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
Tarveda Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that takes a novel approach to cancer treatment by creating proprietary Pentarins, which are potent and selective, miniaturized conjugates uniquely designed to drive efficacy through deep and rapid penetration into solid tumors resulting in sustained payload accumulation and cancer cell death. Through our Pentarin platform, we are developing therapeutics to address the limitations of current cancer therapies in solid tumors.
`Akrevia` is derived from the Greek word for `precision`, which reflects our mission to precisely deliver the activity of potent, tailored immunotherapies exactly where it’s needed.
