BIODOL THERAPEUTICS
Biodol Therapeutics, founded in 2015, develops first-in-class compounds for the treatment of chronic pain (CP). Biodol Therapeutics has identified the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) FLT3 as a key player for triggering and maintaining the chronic neuropathic pain (NP) state. New findings from Biodol Therapeutics' academic partnership (CyrilRivat and Jean Valmier at the INSERM Institute for Neurosciences in Montpellier) also demonstrated that FLT3 inhibition increases the potency of opioids for their analgesic effect, and hereby reduces their safety risks, especially addiction risk, which will help fighting the Opioid Crisis. The development of extracellular inhibitors of the FLT3 receptor, is a proprietary and key approach developed by Biodol Therapeutics.
