Zinthionein Timeline
Dry AMDWe are developing Zinthionein™ (oral zincmonocysteine), an orally active compound for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Oral ZMC the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase, and the antioxidant protein metallothionein in cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells more efficiently and potently than currently available zinc formulations. These complexes are the subject of a recently issued U.S. Patent covering its composition of matter and a patent application and various uses thereof. Zinthionein™ has completed an 80 patient phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Dry AMD.

CD4 Inhibitors Timeline
Graft Vs. Host DiseaseWe are developing a series of rationally-designed, small molecule/peptidomimetic inhibitors of the T-cell CD4 co-receptor. The CD4 co-receptor is central to a number of autoimmune disorders such as MS. Our anti-CD4 molecules are designed to selectively block the dimerization and oligomerization of adjacent CD4 receptors via the D1 domains of such receptors.

Oral dnaJP1 Timeline
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Oral dnaJP1 is a once-daily epitope specific immunotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Oral dnaJP1 is a heat shock protein (hsp)-derived peptide which was previously identified as a contributor of T cell mediated inflammation in RA Immune responses to hsp are often found at sites of inflammation and have an initially amplifying effect that needs to be downregulated to prevent tissue damage. The mechanisms for this regulation involve T cells with regulatory function that are specific for hsp-derived antigens.
