About NV556

NV556 is a drug candidate with a directly acting antifibrotic mechanism of action targeting NASH patients who have progressed from the initial metabolic stage characterized by fat storage and inflammation. NV556 is a potent cyclophilin inhibitor derived from NeuroVive’s Sangamide class of compounds. NV556 has undergone extensive preclinical development, has favorable drug-like properties and confirmed antifibrotic effect in the experimental STAM and MCD NASH models. The company has accelerated its NV556 out-licensing activities with the aim of reaching a partnership agreement during 2018.

About NVP022

NVP022 targets the metabolic components of NASH by using mild, liver-targeted protonophores to uncouple energy-linked functions and increase energy expenditure in the liver. This removes excess fat storage and thereby counteracts the pathophysiological processes in NASH. NeuroVive is currently evaluating lead compounds with the expectation to select a candidate drug during 2018.

About NASH

Hepatic fat storage, inflammation and fibrosis are symptoms of NASH – a condition that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). An estimated 20% of the world population suffers from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and 20 % of the NAFLD population have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). A strong link between NASH and several other metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity, exists. There are currently no registered treatments for NASH, but with treatments reaching the global market, the NASH market is expected to exceed USD 25 billion by 2026.
