About C4X Discovery
C4X Discovery aims to become the world's most productive drug
discovery engine by exploiting cutting edge technologies to design
and create best-in-class small-molecule candidates targeting a
range of high value therapeutic areas. The company's goal is to
drive returns through early-stage revenue-generating deals with the
pharmaceutical industry.
C4X Discovery has a state-of-the-art suite of proprietary
technologies across the drug discovery process. The company's
innovative DNA-based target identification platform (Taxonomy3(R))
utilises human genetic datasets to identify novel patient-specific
targets leading to greater discovery productivity and increased
probability of clinical success. This is complemented by C4XD's
novel drug design platform which comprises two innovative chemistry
technologies, Conformetrix and Molplex, that combine 4D molecular
shape analyses (based on experimental data) with best-in-class
computational chemistry. This provides new and unprecedented
insight into the behaviour of drug molecules, enabling the
production of potent selective compounds faster and more cost
effectively than the industry standard.
C4X Discovery is advancing its in-house pipeline that is
primarily focused on the high value therapeutic areas of
inflammation, neurodegeneration and cancer (including
immuno-oncology) with a number of new drug candidates identified
and further progress made towards the pre-clinical licensing
discussions. In selecting new targets and executing new drug
discovery programmes, C4X Discovery focuses on high-value disease
areas that are the subject of significant licensing activity and
will continue to also maximise value from opportunistic areas such
as addiction and diabetes. The Company recently signed a licensing
agreement with Indivior for a pre-clinical addiction programme
worth up to $294 million.
The Company was founded as a spin-out from the University of
Manchester. It has a highly experienced management team and Board
who have delivered significant value creation within the healthcare
sector historically and have enabled C4XD to reach multiple value
inflexion points since IPO. For additional information please go
