As a next generation peripheral CB1 inverse agonist / antagonist, INV-202 has the potential to treat various metabolic conditions such as Prader-Willi Syndrome, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, type 1 diabetes, diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney diseases, among others.
INV-202 is a small molecule CB1 inverse agonist / antagonist being developed by Inversago for the potential treatment of several metabolic conditions.
It is specifically designed to preferentially interact with peripheral CB1 receptors located in the gastro-intestinal tract, liver, pancreas, adipose tissues, muscles, lungs and other organs, thus aiming at a safe and effective therapeutic approach without the known liabilities of centrally-acting CB1 blockers.
The peripheral CB1 blockade is a well-documented pathway, linked to many clinically meaningful metabolic benefits.
Headquartered in Montreal, Inversago Pharma is a clinical-stage, biotech company specialized in the development of new therapies focusing on CB1 blockade, based on first-in-class, peripherally-acting, CB1 inverse agonists.
The company aims to provide new treatment options that improve the lives of patients affected by metabolic conditions such as PWS, NASH, T1D and diabetic nephropathy.
