Description
Ilypsa, Inc. is focused on non-absorbed, GI based drugs for renal and metabolic diseases utilizing a proprietary high throughput discovery and development platform created and validated at Symyx Technologies.
Products / Services
Ilypsa's current drug candidates are based on tailored non-absorbed polymers, where the polymer itself provides the drug function. By preventing degradation and systemic uptake, the polymeric drugs are designed to act in the gastrointestinal tract and clear the human body through the digestive system. The non-absorbed feature significantly simplifies toxicology and pharmacology requirements for this class of drugs, leading to superior safety and risk profiles.
