About Imeglimin
Imeglimin is the first clinical candidate in
a new chemical class of oral agents called the Glimins. Imeglimin has a
unique mechanism of action (MOA) that targets mitochondrial
bioenergetics. Imeglimin acts on the three main target organs involved
in glucose homeostasis: the liver, muscle, and the pancreas. This MOA
has the potential for glucose lowering benefits, as well as the
potential to prevent endothelial and diastolic dysfunction, which can
provide protective effects on micro- and macro-vascular defects induced
by diabetes. The additional protective effect on beta-cell survival and
function may lead to a delay in disease progression. This unique mode of
action compared to existing treatments for type 2 diabetes makes
Imeglimin a prime candidate in all stages of the current anti-diabetic
treatment paradigm, including monotherapy or as an add-on to other
glucose lowering therapies for the treatment of patients with type 2
diabetes.
About Poxel SA
Poxel uses its development expertise in
metabolism to advance a pipeline of drug candidates focused on the
treatment of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. We have
successfully completed a Phase 2 clinical program for our first-in-class
lead product, Imeglimin, which targets mitochondrial dysfunction, in the
U.S., EU and Japan. Our second program, PXL770, a direct AMPK activator,
is in Phase 1 development. We intend to generate further growth through
strategic partnerships and pipeline development. (Euronext: POXEL, www.poxel.com)
