About Akari Therapeutics
Akari is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing
inhibitors of acute and chronic inflammation, specifically for the
treatment of rare and orphan diseases, in particular those where
the complement (C5) or leukotriene (LTB4) systems, or both
complement and leukotrienes together, play a primary role in
disease progression. Akari's lead drug candidate, Nomacopan
(formerly known as Coversin), is a C5 complement inhibitor that
also independently and specifically inhibits leukotriene B4 (LTB4)
activity. Nomacopan is currently being clinically evaluated in four
areas: bullous pemphigoid (BP), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA),
as well as programs in the eye and lung.
