Small Molecule Therapeutics
Strykagen’s small molecules were identified using a novel α7β1 integrin muscle cell-based assay and by screening over 400,000 compounds using qHTS technology.
Stryka-969 has been shown to increase α7β1 integrin in DMD patient muscle cells, can be orally delivered, and increases muscle strength in preclinical studies.
Strykagen’s small molecule therapeutics should be effective in treating DMD, MDC1A and LGMD2I and be independent of the site of the gene defect.
Stryakgen has the exclusive worldwide license to develop and market these small molecules and their derivatives for the treatment of muscular dystrophy.
