Healthcare Biotechnology

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing therapeutics for Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. Its multi-therapeutic pipeline has a primary focus on neurodegeneration and its lead program risvodetinib (also known as IkT-148009), an Abelson Tyrosine Kinase (c-Abl) inhibitor, targets the treatment of Parkinson’s disease inside and outside the brain as well as other diseases that arise from Ableson Tyrosine Kinases. Its multi-therapeutic pipeline is pursuing Parkinson’s-related disorders of the brain and GI tract, orphan indications related to Parkinson’s disease such as Multiple System Atrophy, and drug delivery technologies for kinase inhibitors such as IkT-001Pro, a prodrug of the anticancer agent imatinib mesylate. The Company’s RAMP medicinal chemistry program has identified a number of follow-on compounds to IkT-148009 to be potentially applied to other cognitive and motor function diseases of the brain.
