Description

V4Cure specializes in the discovery and therapeutic development of innovative peptides derived from animal venoms in the cardio-renal field. V4Cure has a pipeline of innovative drug candidates for diseases of the cardio-renal axis, leveraging the Drug Discovery platform and animal toxins bank of CEA. The first asset of V4Cure is the molecule V4C-232 ,a derivative of a peptide found in venom of the green mamba. It is a new class of V2R antagonists, called aquaretics, acting at the kidney level, to treat disorders related to fluid imbalances. POC studies demonstrate that V4C-232 is the most effective and safe aquaretic solution to treat hyponatremia and progressive polycystic kidney rare diseases.
