Navitor Pharmaceuticals
Navitor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecule drugs that target mTORC1, a key regulator of cellular metabolism and renewal, to treat age-related diseases. Utilizing a proprietary platform, Navitor's therapies can selectively inhibit or activate mTORC1, which plays a crucial role in cellular processes. One of its notable products, NV-5138, is an orally bioavailable small molecule designed to activate mTORC1, particularly addressing its suppression in the brain associated with depression. Additionally, the company's N-Valog program focuses on selective inhibition of mTORC1 for chronic kidney disease, with implications for other age-related conditions. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Navitor Pharmaceuticals aims to unlock the therapeutic potential of the mTOR pathway by modulating nutrient-sensing proteins, thereby addressing various metabolic, neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and musculoskeletal diseases.
