CRS3123 for C. difficile
C. diff Treatment

CRS3123 is a small molecule protein synthesis inhibitor we’re developing and testing to treat C. diff Infection (CDI), a gastrointestinal condition caused by toxin-producing strains of C. difficile bacteria. Learn more about this promising treatment using the link below.

CRS0540 Gram-positives

We are developing a novel class of small molecule antibiotics targeting PolC, the replicative DNA polymerase in Gram-positive bacteria. By inhibiting a novel bacterial target, these compounds circumvent existing mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.

CRS0393 NTM/TB

We are developing a novel class of anti-mycobacterial agents (benzothiazole amides) that target the MmpL3 protein essential for cell wall synthesis. In collaboration with scientists at Colorado State University, the hit-to-lead program has resulted in advanced compounds that show excellent potency against all mycobacteria tested, including multidrug-resistant strains.
