Company Overview

We are engaged in the research and development of targeted, non-systemic therapies for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Non-systemic therapies are drugs that act locally, i.e. in the intestinal lumen, skin or mucosa, without reaching an individuals systemic circulation. We are currently focused on developing our pipeline of gut-restricted GI clinical product candidates, including niclosamide, an oral small molecule with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, and the biologic adrulipase (formerly MS1819), a recombinant lipase enzyme designed to enable the digestion of fats and other nutrients.
