Project pipeline

most advanced projects

PDE2 inhibition as a new therapeutic strategy for ventricular arrhythmias

• Novel mechanism of action for prevention of arrhythmias, likely to provide higher selectivity and fewer safety issues than current options

• Proof of concept demonstrated in two separate mouse models of disease, with two different PDE inhibitors

• Securing soft funding for 2019, possible start-up mid 2019

Lethal cardiac arrhythmia with control treatment

Normal heart rhythm with PDE inhibitor

Antibiotic complement drug against multi-resistance

• ZinChel, complement to beta-lactam antibiotics

• Lead cmpd ZN148 is only drug acting on resistance mechanism metallobetalactamase NDM, VIM, IMP

• ZN148 works on «New Dehli – bacteria» - the NDM-1 superbug.

• Preclinical phase • Soft funding one more yr • Collaboration project,
