Heptares is a drug discovery company creating new medicines targeting G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
The Company is currently leveraging its GPCR expertise and proprietary StaR® technology to build a pipeline of best-in-class and first-in-class GPCR-targeted medicines for the treatment of CNS, metabolic and other diseases.
Heptares Therapeutics Ltd has already four-year collaboration with AstraZeneca (2011), where they focused on developing small molecule and antibody candidates targeting specific GPCRs linked to CNS/pain, CV/metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
Also, an approximately $100 million drug discovery collaboration with Takeda (2011) focused on a GPCR linked to CNS disorders.
Moreover, $200 million alliance with the Novartis Option Fund (2009) focused on single GPCR target of strategic interest to Novartis. Novartis and Heptares jointly announced the successful first-ever stabilisation of this previously intractable GPCR using the Heptares technology.
Heptares Therapeutics Ltd deploys structure-based drug discovery techniques to identify potent and selective drug candidates to previously undruggable targets. They develop small molecule and antibody candidates targeting specific GPCRs linked to CNS/pain, CV/metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
