Synerkine Pharma focuses on developing novel fusion proteins for the treatment of inflammatory, neuropathic and osteoarthritic pain. Synerkine Pharma was founded in 2018 and has licensed the exclusive rights of its lead compound, a fusion protein of IL4 and IL10, from the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), the Netherlands. This fusion protein targets common regulatory mechanisms in different types of chronic pain, and has unique properties as demonstrated by UMCU researchers, who showed that it is effective in reducing pain in multiple pre-clinical models. The ability to treat pain with drugs that mimic endogenous immune molecules and are based on a different mechanism of action than the current anti-analgesic drugs holds tremendous therapeutic and commercial potential.
