| 06/06/19 | GEM080 | Novel cell surface receptor for insoluble protein involved in Parkinson's/Lewy body diseases | Parkinson's diseases, Lewy body disease | NA | NA |
Preclinical | Cell surface receptors for insoluble protein involved in Parkinson's disease/Lewy body disease which were newly identified by utilizing artificial liposomes embedded with endogenous membrane proteins (see TGEM023 in Technology). Antagonists of the receptors are expected to be effective on Parkinson's/Lewy body diseases. | Contact |
| 06/06/19 | GEM079 | Novel cell surface receptor for angiogenesis regulation | Cancers, chronic inflammation, diabetic retinopathy , myocardial infarction, etc | NA | NA |
Preclinical | Cell surface receptor involved in angiogenesis which was newly identified by utilizing artificial liposomes embedded with endogenous membrane proteins (see TGEM023 in Technology). Agonists of the receptor are expected to be effective on diseases where angiogenesis is involved as an aggravating factor. | Contact |
| 05/30/19 | GEM078 | Hyaluronic acid-based nanocarriers of cisplatin | Head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma with metastasis | IV | Small molecule |
Preclinical | CD44 targeting and higher stability lead to enhance lymphatic delivery and inhibit cancer with lymphatic metastasis. Chemodrug encapsulated by nanocarriers minimize systemic toxicities. Convenient dosing by intravenous injection. |

| 05/30/19 | GEM077 | AMPK activator | Topical fat accumulation | Transdermal or oral | Small molecule |
Preclinical | A small molecular AMPK activator. It inhibited the growth of adipocytes in vitro and suppressed body weight and fat increases in vivo. Topical used formulation is ready. | Contact |
| 05/30/19 | GEM076 | Galectin-12 inhibitor | Seborrheic dermatitis; Sebaceous hyperplasia | Transdermal | siRNA |
Preclinical | A modified siRNA for suppressing gene expression of galectin-12 which is a lipid droplet protein and regulates lipid accumulation and lipolysis. The siRNA can reduce the lipid in sebocytes and adipocytes and shows good stability and selectivity to reduce the lipid accumulation through transdermal delivery in vivo. | Contact |
| 05/30/19 | GEM075 | Novel functional excipient | Oral formulation* | Oral | Polymer |
Preclinical | The synthetic polyvinyl acetate (PVAc)-based polymer of functional excipient is utilized as solubilizer that could increase drug solubility and enhance drug absorption. This novel excipient has better flowability, easy for use and widely application. This excipient will be useful for new drug and insoluble drug development. *: e.g. direct compression, granulation, solid dispersion |

| 05/30/19 | GEM073 | Kinase inhibitor of TGFβ-mediated phospho-SMAD2 signal transduction | COPD, IPF, Lung cancer | Oral | Small molecules |
Phase I ongoing | This kinase is selectively expressed in resident macrophages and airways epithelia of the lung and upregulated in COPD and IPF patients. A highly selective inhibitor showed efficacy across at least 3 different animal models relevant to COPD, IPF and NSCLC. |

| 05/30/19 | GEM072 | Orally available somatostatin analogues | Metabolic syndromes, acromegaly, hyperprolactinemia etc.* | Oral | Protein |
Preclinical | The technology and "know-how" to synthesize somatostatin analogues which will be more potent, more specific, stable and orally available have been established. A few analogues (at lead generation/optimization stage) with different combination of receptor selectivity and differential hormonal secretion inhibition properties are available. *: Congenital hyperinsulinism, insulinomas, glucagonomas |

| 04/02/19 | GEM071 | Nanoparticl formulation of 2-deoxy-glucose | Hepatocellular carcinoma, Renal cancer, Colorectal canser | IV | Small molecule |
Preclinical | In the xenograft model, the administration of nanoparticle formulation once a week showed superior antitumor effect than daily administration of 2-deoxyglucose alone. No side effects were observed. Enhanced the antitumor effect by combination with existing anticancer drugs. Enhanced T cell infiltration into tumor tissue. The substrate used in the nanoparticle formulation are used in approved medicines (FDA). |
