LAVAL, QC, ROCKVILLE, MD and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Nov. 11, 2019
LAVAL, QC, ROCKVILLE, MD and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Nov. 11, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Liminal BioSciences Inc. (TSX: LMNL) (OTCQX: PFSCF) ("Liminal BioSciences" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapeutics to treat unmet needs in patients with liver, respiratory and kidney disease, today announced the Company and its' collaborators presented new preclinical findings on a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of inflammatory and fibrosis-related kidney diseases at the American Society of Nephrology's ("ASN") Kidney Week 2019 taking place from November 5-10, 2019 in Washington, DC.
"We believe that free fatty acid receptors represent promising targets for the development of small molecules in the treatment of inflammatory and fibrosis-related kidney diseases, and our preclinical efforts presented at Kidney Week 2019 continue to support our continued development in kidney disease" stated Kenneth Galbraith, Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to reporting further progress in this therapeutic category as we nominate a drug candidate from our small molecule compound library to continue our development efforts."
The Company made two oral presentations focused on fatty acid receptors GPR40/GPR84 as promising targets in kidney fibrosis and a novel preclinical compound, PBI-4610, discovered by Liminal.
Key data was also presented at the conference in a poster presentation entitled:
- PBI-4050 Reduces Renal Injury in a Mouse Model of Aristolochic Acid-Induced Nephropathy

About Liminal BioSciences Inc.
Liminal BioSciences (www.liminalbiosciences.com) is an innovative biopharmaceutical company with a broad pipeline of small molecule therapeutics under development to treat unmet needs in patients with liver, respiratory and kidney disease, with a focus on rare or orphan diseases. Liminal BioSciences' research involves the study of several G-protein-coupled-receptors, GPR40, GPR84 and GPR120, known as free fatty acid receptors (FFAR's). These drug candidates have a novel mechanism of action as agonist ("stimulator") of GPR40 and GPR 120, and antagonist ("inhibitor") of GPR84. Our lead drug candidate, PBI-4050, is expected to enter Phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of Alstrm Syndrome after further consultation and approval by the FDA and EMA. A second drug candidate, PBI-4547, is currently in a Phase 1 clinical study.
