InorbitTX is a virtual drug discovery and development company focussed on the treatment of fatty liver diseases NAFLD / NASH. Its lead project, the FXR agonist IOT022 is currently in late pre-clinical testing. IOT022 differentiates very well from competitor compounds, as it mitigates the risk for pruritus and for drug induced liver injury, seen with competitors. It gives IOT022 an excellent best-in-class opportunity. We look for funding to complete for IND and for Phase I. We also look for partnering for the Chinese / Asian market.

In particular, we have developed pathology-specific platforms to generate rapid and informative data on efficacy, toxicity, metabolism and mechanism of action, supported by proprietary technologies such as MicroTISSUE (dissecting microenvironment-cell interaction in complex inflammatory scenarios) or MITOS (a comprehensive analytical platform for quantitative analysis of mitochondrial function ).
Our approach enables effective selection and ranking of the most promising candidates per indication.
Moreover, we profile candidates at different level of complexity starting from:
a) pharmacology profiling (GPCR; Ion Channel receptors)
b) identification of biochemical pathways responsible for therapeutic efficacy (transcriptomics)
c) disease modified barrier permeability (BBB and endothelial)

PresidentRoss Breckenridge
The mechanism of action of our lead drug, Ag5, targets cancer cells generating high levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). High ROS tumours are, in general, untreatable. This group of cancers includes KRAS-mutation driven cancers, which comprise around 30% of all cancer cases, and the worst prognosis group. There is currently no treatment for KRAS mutant cancers, which lead to more than 1 million deaths worldwide every year.
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the commonest primary brain cancer, is also a high-ROS cancer, despite the absence of mutated KRAS. There have been no new treatment options in GBM for 20 years, and prognosis is poor-averaging 18 months.
We have a follow-on compound and a pipeline of innovative molecules addressing both cancer and non-cancerous conditions.
We are raising a series A round which will allow us to gain clinical proof of concept.

Glenpharma AB is a small privately owned research spin-off from Pfizer-Pharmacia, formed in Sweden in 2002 to exploit novel technology patented by its founders.
We offer patented synergistic combinations of biopolymers for
a) accelerated repair of acute tendon /ligament injuries in human applications ( such as sprained ligaments / tendons in shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, etc , in both sports injury scenarios and in the elderly ) , or in veterinary indications (e.g. high performance horses) . The product accelerates healing at least 3 times faster than the normal healing process.
b) for prevention of unwanted adhesions between tissues after major thoracic, abdominal , fertility or orthopedic surgery. In studies on prevention of difficult adhesions after cardiac surgery, for example, adhesion scores were < 10% of those in control groups.
c) for effective control of acute pain in advanced joint disease (osteo-arthritis (OA) . Clinical documentation in advanced OA indicates that onset of pain relief is much faster and of longer duration than current standards for viscosupplementation.
Each of the above biopolymer "viscous fluid implants" are also ideal drug delivery media for treatment of ancillary complications.
All component biopolymers are well documented APIs, i.e. without the toxicty and other regulatory issues generally associated with "New Chemical Entities". Glenpharma´s current patent protection covers most major international markets including USA, Europe and P R China.
Glenpharma is primarily seeking Chinese partners for out-licensing within the fields of orthopedics or major surgery.. If neccessary , we can offer contract-manufacturing options in Europe if not available in China.

Biofilm is the first resistance response of microorganisms to protect themselves against environmental stresses and is associated with most infections and diseases. Removal of biofilm by surface scraping, UV, heat, biocides and antibiotics, etc. signal to the underlying microorganisms when and how fast to build a thicker biofilm shield.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) associate biofilm with 90% of hospital-acquired infections, such as those caused by contamination on indwelling medical devices, ventilators, and water and air systems. The CDC recently reported that 20% of U.S. COVID deaths were due to these secondary infections. Additional life-threatening infections are increasingly traced to biofilm in air and water systems in institutional and commercial buildings and homes. For example, Legionnaire’s Disease, which claimed 17 lives, was traced to biofilm in a hotel’s air conditioners that became aerosolized and inhaled. It is no coincidence that every pathogen on the CDC and WHO lists of urgent threats, pandemic threats, and bioterrorist threats is a biofilm-former. Every drug-resistant “Superbug” strain is a biofilm-former and is considered incurable. Additionally, several microbial species are captures in the same biofilm, increasing the incidence of horizontal gene transfer (Li et al., 2001; Angles et al., 1993; Dunny et al., 1995) and spawning the emergence of new antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains.
There are few remedies for biofilm. Physical removal (sterilization, scraping, UV) works for a short-term (e.g., biofilm was recorded on a titanium plate within 30 seconds of sterilization). Biocides (antiseptics, disinfectants, antimicrobials, and antibiotics) are designed to kill free-floating (planktonic), actively growing microorganisms, and the dose of needed to disrupt a biofilm is approximately 1000x the concentrations that are effective against planktonic bacteria (Raffa et al., 2003), which is a dose that is lethal to humans. The overuse of biocides and antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of the AMR Superbugs – and left a cumulative and persistent environmental footprint. Natural antimicrobials, such as silver and other metals, are expensive and eventually trigger the formation of thicker biofilm, resulting in the loss of efficacy over time.
