About the company
Raziel therapeutics is innovative company dedicated to address unmet needs in the rapidly-growing market for obesity disease.
Raziel Therapeutics has developed a novel drug (NCE) that after a single injection into subcutaneous fat, converts white adipose tissue (WAT) into brown adipose tissue-like.
It is well known that the function of WAT is to store fat, while that of BAT is to burn fat for heat production. Therefore, WAT to BAT conversion is considered a preferred strategy to treat obesity and overweight disease.
Our products
Prof. Muli Ben-Sasson and his team discovered that among novel molecules they synthesized, there is a family of compounds that are able to influence the fate of fat-tissue cells (=adipocytes), dramatically.
An investigation of their mechanism of action illustrates these molecules are able to convert white-adipose-tissue (WAT) into brown-adipose tissue like (BAT), as evident by the morphology and molecular markers of the treated adipose-tissue.
The company product candidate, RZL-12, is a potential first-in-class, injectable drug currently in Pre-clinical development for the reduction of fat cell mass. The feasibility of its oral formulation is now under investigation.
Development Milestones
The company is in pre-clinical stage and intend to be in clinical stage in Q2, 2014.
