COMPANY PROFILE<br />
Selcia Ltd., headquartered in Ongar, Essex, UK and with a branch in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, operates<br />
two divisions, Selcia Discovery and Selcia Radiochemistry. Whilst Radiochemistry specializes in 14C GMP<br />
radiolabelling, Selcia Discovery provides integrated small molecule drug discovery to pharmaceutical and biotech<br />
clients. Besides general medicinal chemistry and biology capabilities applicable across all target classes, Selcia<br />
Discovery has a particular strength in three unique and highly synergistic technologies: (1) medicinal chemistry<br />
on complex natural products, (2) capillary electrophoresis -based fragment and natural product screening, (3)<br />
peptidyl-prolyl isomerase targets (cyclophilins, FKBPs, Pin1, together called PPIases). Whilst relatively neglected<br />
by pharmaceutical companies in the past, understanding of the involvement of PPIases in many diseases is<br />
currently emerging. All PPIase inhibitors presently in clinical use or in development are natural products, natural<br />
product derivatives or have structures inspired by natural products.<br />
The combination of these technologies has enabled Selcia to deliver several clinical PPIase inhibitors to<br />
clients, but has also generated IP for Selcia, which was recently demerged into a new company, Mitopharm<br />
Ltd. Mitopharm is in advanced license negotiations for a breakthrough drug in the field of acute and chronic<br />
neurodegenerative diseases. Other applications in the fields of chronic inflammatory diseases, oncology, COPD,<br />
and virus infections will be developed by Mitopharm either via investment or via joint R&D programs with<br />
pharmaceutical companies.<br />
