Thiogenesis Therapeutics, Corp. is a Canada-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is engaged in developing thiol-active therapeutic compounds, which are prodrugs used to treat unmet pediatric medical needs. The Company’s lead compound, TTI-0102, is a disulfide, made up of two thiols that lead to two independent cysteamine molecules. Cysteamine is a thiol that has been rigorously studied and tested. It is the active ingredient used in drugs to treat the lysosomal storage disease – (nephropathic) cystinosis. TTI-0102 has been developed to address the important obstacles facing thiol-based drugs, their short half-life, strong gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects and dosing limitations. As a prodrug, TTI-0102 is metabolized into cysteamine molecules after it is ingested. The metabolic process acts as a gating mechanism. TTI-0102’s initial applications are for mitochondrial disease, Rett syndrome and pediatric non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
