Antibe Therapeutics develops safer medications for chronic pain and inflammation. Today, physicians and consumers rely principally on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a $12 billion category of medications that includes brands like Advil, Aleve, Motrin, Celebrex, Voltaren and Aspirin. While effective, NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal damage and bleeding. To address this serious medical need, Antibe has patented a technology for linking NSAID molecules to hydrogen sulfide molecules. More than a decade of academic and applied research has demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide, when appropriately delivered, can protect the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of today’s NSAIDs. Beginning with its IPO in mid-2013, Antibe has raised more than $10 million and initiated human clinical trials of its first drug, aimed at mild to moderate pain.
Our mission is to create a new generation of smarter medicines that outmaneuver complex diseases in ways previously inconceivable. To accomplish this mission, we are building a synthetic biology platform that could enable us to program next-generation cell and gene therapies with what we refer to as “gene circuits”. These gene circuits, which are created from novel and proprietary combinations of DNA sequences, are intended to reprogram cells with biological logic to sense inputs, compute decisions and respond to their cellular environments. We are designing gene circuits to improve the “intelligence” of cell and gene therapies in order to enhance their therapeutic effectiveness against a broad range of diseases that conventional medicines do not readily address.
