[2002]-[ONT-093]-[oral P-gp inhibitor][Biospace]

Ontogen Corporation is a drug discovery and development company focused on the advancement of proprietary small molecule therapeutic agents to address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious diseases and other chronic medical conditions.

Ontogen's strengths in chemistry, technology, engineering and biology have yielded eight active development programs. These strengths are exemplified by the company's developmental-stage therapeutic candidate, ONT-093, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, which progressed from discovery to clinical evaluation in less than 18 months. The drug is expected to have utility in several applications:

* Inhibition of P-gp in tumors for the prevention and reversal of multidrug resistance associated with cancer chemotherapy (Phase I)

* Inhibition of P-gp in the intestine to enhance oral bioavailability of drugs that are P-gp substrates requiring either high dosage forms or i.v. administration (Phase I)

* Inhibition of P-gp at the blood brain barrier to increase central nervous system (CNS) penetration of drugs that are P-gp substrates (pre-clinical)
