DMX-200 is said to be a breakthrough therapy that may be able to control some of the major symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease. Among these symptoms are proteinuria or protein leakage. Researchers from the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research came up with the technology that paved the way for the development of DMX-200.
DMX-200 is a result of the laboratory’s Receptor-Heteromer Investigation Technology (Receptor-HIT) which was recently validated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its important role in the identification of new treatments.
The new drug aims to fight Chronic Kidney Disease by combining two drugs, one of which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties while the other one is a hormone blocker which is used in treating high blood pressure.
Chronic Kidney Disease is a disease that affects people worldwide and is considered serious as it can lead to kidney failure and even death. Dimerix Limited, which owns Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd., is a pharmaceutical company that is committed to developing new therapeutic models with the use of the Receptor-Heteromer Investigation Technology (Receptor-HIT).
