About MitoRx Therapeutics

MitoRx Therapeutics is a UK-based biotech company focused on developing revolutionary mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics to address challenging diseases. Their mission is to arrest or delay progressive diseases by restoring sulfide-mediated protective metabolism, initially targeting obesity-related indications and myopathies, with potential expansion to broader medical areas.

Products & Services

mtH2SD Technology:A first-in-class mitochondrial-targeted sulfide donor platform that reverses mitochondrial dysfunction in progressive diseases, focusing on restoring sulfide-signaling through protein S-persulfidation. It targets diseases like obesity-related conditions and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Pipeline Programs:A pipeline of pre-clinical small molecule drugs for diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction, with potential applications in lung inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative disorders (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Huntington's), and muscle wasting conditions (sarcopenia, cancer cachexia, COPD cachexia).
