About Synairgen
Synairgen is a respiratory drug discovery and development
company founded by University of Southampton Professors Stephen
Holgate, Donna Davies and Ratko Djukanovic. The business, focused
primarily on asthma and COPD, uses its differentiating human
biology BioBank platform and world-renowned international academic
KOL network to discover and develop novel therapies for respiratory
disease. Leveraging its scientific and clinical facilities at
Southampton General Hospital, the Company uses in vitro and ex vivo
models to progress opportunities into clinical development. The
BioBank of human samples is used in these models to increase
confidence in the likelihood of successful drug development. Core
to Synairgen's business strategy is the realisation of value via
licensing transactions. In August 2015 the Company entered into a
collaboration with Pharmaxis to develop an oral LOXL2 inhibitor to
reduce fibrosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(IPF). In December 2017 the collaboration agreement was amended as
Pharmaxis took on full responsibility for the programme, with
Synairgen receiving a GBP5 million upfront payment and circa 17% of
any future partnering proceeds from all fibrotic indications.
Synairgen is quoted on AIM (LSE: SNG). For more information about
