Heart failure happens when the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support normal function of the other organs in the body
What is Systolic Heart Failure-
SHF is heart failure where there is contractile dysfunction causing the heart pushes reduced oxygenated blood to the tissues, HFrEF
What is Diastolic Heart Failure-
DHF is heart failure in the absence of contractile dysfunction and with evidence of diastolic relaxation dysfunction.
DHF patients have Preserved Ejection Fraction, (EF>50%) the fraction of the blood in the left ventricle that is pushed into the aorta and circulation with each beat, often referred to as HFpEF
We are an Emerging Biotechnology Company Developing Treatment for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction as our lead program.
We will build a Cardiovascular Focused Company to treat leading causes of death and morbidity for all as we age.
Mito-58 is a compound that specifically TARGETS the MITOCHODRIA (MITO (mito, triphenylphosphonium)) AND a free radical scavenger (TEMPO) linked together
Concentrated in the mitochondria and not targeting to a specific receptor, allows for iterative moieties of the “mito”, “TEMPO” and the “linker” portion which led us to develop our proprietary library of compounds, including Mito-58
Screening for additional compounds with mitochondrial directed activity is being explored for portfolio expansion
We leverage the Best and the Brightest in the Scientific and Life Science Community, and drives toward Success to improve our Heart Health.
Our Management, Executive Advisors and Scientific Key Opinion Leaders have over a century of experience in life sciences, drug development and emerging Biotechnology and MedTech companies. We are dedicated to building a cardiovascular focused company that can develop products that will improve the lives of millions of people across the globe.
We will be stewards of cutting-edge science and open to rewarding collaborations as they arise. Our team is extraordinarily trained, educated and thoughtful across the cardiovascular arena and beyond. Such experiences will lead us to uncover the best path forward for treating Heart Failure, monitoring treatment success, and broadening to treating Atrial Fibrillation. We look forward to sharing our journey with you!
