Glenpharma AB Sweden

   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.

Inorbit Therapeutics ab Sweden

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.
