U.S.-based Recida Therapeutics Inc., newly launched with backing from VC firm Frazier Healthcare Partners, announced it has licensed Greater China development and commercialization rights to a novel antibiotic to Sino-U.S. firm MicuRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. The product in focus is RC-01, a novel LpxC inhibitor for the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections that Recida has in-licensed from Japan’s Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. No financials were disclosed. RC-01 is Recida’s first product and is set for an IND filing in the U.S. in Q1 2019. The drug has reportedly demonstrated bactericidal activity in pre-clinical testing against major clinically relevant pathogens such as the Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa families of bacteria, and is also active in vitro against highly resistant P. aeruginosa samples from patients with cystic fibrosis.
