SCYNEXIS INC

SCYNEXIS, Inc. is dedicated to advancing innovative solutions for severe rare diseases, with our lead program in the treatment and prevention of difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant fungal infections. We are developing our proprietary antifungal platform fungerps , a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids, that are structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitors and have generally shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus genera, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis , Coccidioides , Histoplasma and Blastomyces genera and most common mucorales species. Ibrexafungerp is the first representative of this novel class of antifungals and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) for treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and for the reduction in the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (rVVC) in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Ibrexafungerp was licensed to GSK in May 2023. A second generation fungerp SCY-247 is currently being evaluated in clinical trials and additional compounds from our proprietary fungerp platform, targeted to address significant unmet needs, are in earlier stages of development. The FDA has granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product status and Fast Track designations for the oral formulation of SCY-247 which would provide regulatory exclusivity of at least 10 years following commercial launch, if approved.
