About Phythera Therapeutics, Inc

Phythera Therapeutics, Inc. was started to test, develop and improve promising small molecule-based drugs for oncology and inflammation markets. Many small bioactive phyto-molecules used in biomedicine have been derived from plants (hence –Phythera Therapeutics). The cocktail of drugs is expected to be better than one molecule for managing complex diseases with no available treatments. The only medicine which can manage HIV is a cocktail of drugs. We have something of the same magnitude but for oncology, which is viewed as “one drug- one IND” by US FDA. We see the potential of drugs carrying many small bioactive molecules to substantially improve the treatment of cancer, either as an auxiliary or even as the main treatment method. The same is true for inflammation. Optimizing and improving these small molecules to maximize their efficacy to combat metastatic cancers, and converting them into potent and robust treatments of untreatable conditions like metastatic cancer and persistent inflammation is Phythera’s main overarching goal. We leverage our expertise in 3D cell biology and transcriptomics to test the small molecule compounds to define and improve their efficacy in 3D tissue model systems, either as a single compound or as a combination of several most potent small molecule drugs. The team’s proven deep expertise in stem cell biology enables us to study the impact of our candidate molecules on the most elusive and most malignant cancer stem cells and develop drug combinations, optimized for a specific disease. Last but not least, our team has a strong interest in regenerative medicine approaches for inducing tissue regeneration and improving tissue homeostasis, the key to wellness and enduring health. Small molecule compounds derived from plants possess many of the properties promoting tissue regeneration and modulating homeostasis in tissue. Enhancing these properties and converting them into new treatments is Phythera’s 2nd overarching goal.
