Enterprise Therapeutics is a drug discovery company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for the treatment of respiratory diseases. The company is backed by top tier venture capital investors and is based in the UK with offices at the University of Sussex Innovation Centre and in Blackfriars, London.

In diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and COPD the lungs become congested with mucus leading to difficulty in breathing. Enterprise Therapeutics’ scientific strategy is aimed at discovering new disease modifying therapies that target the underlying mechanisms of mucus congestion, which will reduce the frequency of lung infections and improve patient quality of life.

These novel muco-regulatory therapies are being achieved through targeting ion channels such as ENaC to increase the hydration and clearance of mucus. Enterprise has also identified novel targets and compounds that reduce mucus production, an approach that compliments mucus hydration therapies.

Its proven management team has significant expertise in drug discovery, drug development, respiratory biology and ion channel pharmacology.
