Harnessing the Power of the Innate Immune System: Introducing Ceragenins, a Versatile Immunomodulatory drug platform for Eradicating Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and a Range of Bacterial and Fungal Infections in Cystic Fibrosis and other diseases.

In 2023 FDA granted our request to designate CSA-131 as a QIDP for the prevention / treatment of CF infections caused by Candida auris, Aspergillus, Pseudomonas, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Overview

At Kinnear Pharmaceuticals, we’re pioneering the future of anti-infective and anti-inflammatory therapies. As a dynamic, preclinical stage company, our focus is on developing innovative Ceragenin-based treatments to address diseases that currently lack effective solutions. Our mission is deeply rooted in discovering, developing, and bringing to market revolutionary product candidates.

Kinnear Pharmaceuticals is a subsidiary of N8 Biosciences (www.n8medical.com), a holding company dedicated to the broad application of Ceragenins. N8 Biosciences focus includes the commercialization of CeraShield technology, a specialized coating for medical devices aimed at preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

Science

Ceragenins : A Synthesis of Nature and Innovation

Inspired by nature

Ceragenins are synthetic non-peptide small molecules modeled after host defense peptides, vital components of our innate immune system. Ceragenins mimic and enhances LL-37, reduce and inhibit IL-6, without creating antimicrobial resistance

Unique capabilities

They exhibit an array of pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, similar to their natural counterparts.

Proven and pat

Backed by extensive research (Since 2019 there have been 350 peer-reviewed journal articles about the Ceragenins technology), patents, and significant investments, Ceragenins are a breakthrough in medical science. Structure: Featuring a sterol backbone adorned with amino acids and other groups, they have a positive charge that targets the negatively charged cell membranes of many pathogens.

Pipeline

Our Key Focus: Developing a Versatile Antibiotic to Prevent and Treat Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Myeloma, and Dengue.
