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.

ugichem is developing antisense drugs based on its proprietary Ugimer platform for unmet medical needs in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID). Ugimers overcome the shortcomings of standard antisense technologies or RNAi. In contrast, Ugimers are not derived from natural nucleic acids but are based on the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) backbone and carry specific side chains for improved delivery, efficacy and specificity. This innovative design provides Ugimers with unique biopharmaceutical properties allowing them access to previously inaccessible organs, cells and cellular compartments, including the immune system. Moreover, Ugimers are the first and only antisense drugs that have efficacy in mitochondria.
