About Enterin
Enterin is developing novel compounds that repair the dysfunctional gut-brain axis to treat patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Enterin is pioneering the medical community's understanding of the link between infections, dysfunction of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and the early symptoms and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Enterin's lead compound, ENT-01, has been shown to displace membrane-bound alpha-synuclein (αS) aggregates from nerve cells in the ENS and improve neural signaling between the gut and the brain in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease and in human studies. ENT-01 is currently in a 150-patient, placebo-controlled Phase IIb clinical study designed to demonstrate its ability to reverse the neurological symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Enterin's second compound, ENT-03, is designed to reverse central insulin resistance, a key pathology in diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. ENT-03 is expected to enter a Phase I study in 2022.
