Development Overview

Introduction

Future Medicines is developing nucleoside conjugate-based adenosine A3 antagonists, for the treatment of glaucoma, renal disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS), Zika virus infections and cancer. Preclinical development is underway in South Korea.

One lead compound from the research programme, FM 101 [see Adis Insight Drug profile 800051460] is under preclinical development in South Korea, for the treatment of glaucoma.

As at April 2022, no recent reports of development had been identified for preclinical development in Asthma in South Korea, preclinical development in Cancer in South Korea, preclinical development in Chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease in South Korea, preclinical development in Glaucoma in South Korea, preclinical development in Middle-East-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus in South Korea, preclinical development in Non-alcoholic-steatohepatitis in South Korea, preclinical development in Pulmonary-fibrosis in South Korea, preclinical development in Renal-failure in South Korea, preclinical development in Zika-virus-infection in South Korea.

Key Development Milestones

According to Future Medicine pipeline viewed in March 2018, preclinical development of adenosine A3 antagonists is underway for the treatment of glaucoma, renal disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS), Zika virus infections and cancer (Future Medicine pipeline, March 2018).
