OraPharma wants to save your toothy grin. The
development-stage company's Minocycline
Periodontal Therapeutic System (MPTS) is
aimed at wiping out periodontitis, a leading
cause of adult tooth loss. Using a polymer
microsphere delivery system licensed from
American Home Products subsidiary American
Cyanamid, MPTS delivers a sustained dose of
antibiotic to an infection site after plaque
removal. The company is also developing a
treatment for oral mucositis (a condition that
occurs frequently in patients receiving
chemotherapy or radiation therapy) and a
therapy for bone and soft-tissue regeneration.
The company is owned by a group of
investment firms that includes Oak Investment
Partners and Canaan Partners.
