BioMarck Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of drugs for the treatment of pulmonary diseases and disorders associated with the over-secretion of mucus and pulmonary inflammation. In developing its lead compound, BIO-11006 Inhalation Solution, BioMarck has chosen chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (specifically chronic bronchitis) as its first target, but other diseases including asthma, and cystic fibrosis are later disease targets. BIO-11006 Inhalation Solution works by a novel dual mechanism; it inhibits both the secretion of mucus in the lungs and pulmonary inflammation. These aspects of BIO-11006 Inhalation Solution have been demonstrated in several different animal models. In addition, BioMarck has completed a full panel of preclinical safety studies, has an active IND with the FDA, has completed two BIO-11006 in Phase 1 clinical studies, and is currently conducting a Phase 2 study of the efficacy of BIO-11006 in COPD patients.

BrainCells is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of small molecule therapeutics for diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The company's technology platform is based on research in the field of neurogenesis and recent discoveries linking neurogenesis to CNS disease states. BCI is using its neurogenesis technology platform to identify clinical-stage compounds, targets and compounds optimal for CNS indications. BCI is building a pipeline of clinical-stage programs to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of mood disorders, psychoses, cognition, brain repair syndromes and other CNS disorders.

SelectX Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery and development of small molecule antimicrobials and other therapeutics for unmet medical needs through the application of its Genetic Chemistry platform.

Kemia discovers and develops new, oral small molecule medicines for well-validated, clinically significant targets. Kemia applies proprietary chemistries and medicinal chemistry experience to two large and as yet underdeveloped classes of small molecule drug opportunities -- alpha helix interactions and allosteric kinase inhibitors. These target classes include numerous potential drug discovery targets across major disease areas including inflammation, cancer, HIV, diabetes and bone diseases.

Halsa Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, cachexia and other metabolic diseases.
