Lanthio Grants Tarix Exclusive License to Agonistic Peptide

Lanthio Pharma has granted Tarix Pharmaceuticals an exclusive license to its lanthionine-stabilized Angiotensin-(1-7) agonistic peptide for the treatment of acute lung injury.

Dutch peptide drug company Lanthio Pharma has granted US-based Tarix Pharmaceuticals an exclusive license to its lanthionine-stabilized Angiotensin-(1-7) agonistic peptide for the treatment of acute lung injury.

 

According to the deal, Tarix will issue milestone payments and royalties to Lanthio in return for the license. Tarix will also finance further product development.

 

The agonistic peptide was discovered by Lanthio Pharma, using its proprietary LanthioPep technology. The compound is stable and resistant to angiotensin-converting enzymes, has high specificity for the MAS receptor, and shows increased intrinsic activity compared to wild-type Angiotensin-(1-7).
