PartnerSynDevRx Inc.
SynDevRx develops new and effective treatments for metabolic-related diseases including pre-diabetes, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia and fatty liver disease as well as treatments for cancer. Our treatments are best-in-class MetAP2 inhibitors of the fumagillin drug class. SynDevRx lead compound, SDX-7320, is a polymer conjugate of a novel fumagillol derivative which releases the pharmacologically active drug in vivo. Our approach improves both the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight drugs while reducing systemic drug exposure compared to the small molecule drug alone.
