About Aerpio Pharmaceuticals
Aerpio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on
advancing first-in-class compounds that activate Tie2 to treat ocular
diseases and complications of diabetes. Tie2 is an important regulator
of vascular stability and its down-regulation is found in patients with
diabetes. Down-regulation is caused by activation of two inhibitors of
Tie2, VE-PTP and Ang-2 due to hypoxia or tissue ischemia. The Company’s
lead compound, AKB-9778, is a systemically-administered small molecule
activator of the Tie2 pathway (via highly selective and potent
deactivation of VE-PTP) and is in clinical development for the treatment
of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. AKB-9778 is also being
investigated for its potential utility in treating diabetic nephropathy
and an eyedrop formulation is in development as a potential treatment
for open-angle glaucoma. For more information, please visit www.aerpio.com.
