AtheroGenics

About AtheroGenics:


AtheroGenics is an emerging pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel drugs for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.

AtheroGenics currently has two v-protectant® programs in clinical development targeting atherosclerosis and organ transplant rejection.

 

V -Protectants® Block Activation of VCAM-1 in cells that line blood vessels.

V-Protectants® are drugs that block a class of signals, called oxidant signals, which are generated within endothelial cells. These oxidant signals activate genes, which produce inflammatory proteins. The protein products of these selected genes, including VCAM-1, attract white blood cells to the site of chronic inflammation. This mechanism within arterial blood vessel walls may control the excessive accumulation of white blood cells without affecting the body's ability to fight infection
