Great to be at #bioequity24 supporting and representing MitoRx Therapeutics as we seek investors for our Series A raise. MitoRx Therapeutics is an Oxford based preclinical stage platform biotech developing mitochondrial-targeted small molecules that uniquely restore sulfide-signaling, a conserved system required for adaptive metabolism, recently achieving preclinical platform validation. We have generated positive results in 3 preclinical programs in neuromuscular, obesity and lung inflammatory disease. In a severe fibrotic rodent model of Duchenne MD muscle degeneration is halted and impaired weight gain is reversed, a unique metabolic rescue among muscular dystrophy efforts. In a rodent obesity model, we observed highly significant reduction in weight gain, inflammation and liver injury. In a COPD model with our compounds reduce fibrosis, blunt inflammasome activation and preserve function. MitoRx Therapeutics have raised £5m since 2022, built a team that has taken 5 drugs to market, and filed on five compositions of matter patents. Our approach in highly innovative: first in class, first in mechanism and first in target. We are seeking research collaboration and option deals with pharma and investors who want to back us to the clinic.
