Imara Inc. is dedicated to developing novel therapeutics for people living with sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease is a rare, genetic blood disease that causes red blood cells to sickle and become damaged, activating immune cells and blocking blood flow in capillaries, injuring many organs and causing daily pain. Imara is developing IMR-687, a highly selective, potent small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9i), to treat patients with sickle cell disease. Imara was launched following an 18-month scientific collaboration between orphan drug accelerator Cydan Development and H. Lundbeck A/S.
Natural molecules or derivatives make up more than half of the current drugs on the market with applications to nearly every disease known to humans. Salicylic acid, morphine, cannabinoids and insulin are a few examples. Our specialty is in producing these, and new targets, using a fast and scalable platform based on engineered microbes.
We are harnessing the #gut brain axis & the #CNS to develop a new class of therapeutics for people with neurological diseases & disorders
