We are tackling some of medicine’s toughest problems to serve communities with high unmet needs. To accomplish this, we are advancing a pipeline in which we’ve matched investigational therapies with diseases in which they can make the greatest impact, based on well-defined mechanistic rationale, clear clinical outcomes and biomarkers, and rigorous preclinical data.
Avexitide is an investigational, first-in-class glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor antagonist designed to bind to the GLP-1 receptor on pancreatic islet beta cells and block the effect of excessive GLP-1 to mitigate hypoglycemia by decreasing insulin secretion and stabilizing glucose levels.

AMX0035 is an oral, fixed-dose combination of sodium phenylbutyrate (PB) and taurursodiol (TURSO, also known as ursodoxicoltaurine outside of the U.S.). AMX0035 was designed to mitigate neurodegeneration by targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, two cellular processes central to neuronal cell death and neurodegeneration.

AMX0114 is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to target the gene encoding calpain-2 (CAPN2). Calpain-2 is a calcium-dependent protease and a critical effector of axonal degeneration (also known as Wallerian degeneration) in ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Calpain-2 cleaves neurofilament light chain (NfL), a broadly researched biomarker for axonal degeneration in ALS, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TPD-43), a protein associated with ALS and FTD disease.1-4
