Methods for the treatment of chronic kidney disease

We are happy to announce the acceptance of a great patent from CarboHyde’s collaborator, Renatus, a pharmaceutical company focused on developing cyclodextrin-based cholesterol metabolism modulators. Renatus is a pharmaceutical company whose mission is to provide safe and effective treatment options for the treatment of numerous cholesterol-driven diseases such as chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer’s diseases. The core technology of the company allows the normalization of cholesterol homeostasis by removal of excessive and toxic cholesterol within diseased cells without significant harmful effects on normal cells.

The lead asset RN-005 is a cholesterol metabolism modulator that has proven strong therapeutic efficacy in preclinical models of both diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) wherein dysregulated cholesterol metabolism causes progressive damage and loss of function in the kidney. The gamma-cyclodextrin oligomers are effective in cholesterol metabolism enhancement, cholesterol efflux, reducing inflammatory cytokine secretion, renal clearance of cholesterol, and/or reducing albuminuria. Therefore, the gamma-cyclodextrin oligomers can be used to treat or alleviate chronic kidney disease, symptoms thereof and/or complications related to chronic kidney disease.
