t the molecular mechanisms in bacteria responsible for antibiotic resistance. Mpex's lead product candidate, MP-376, is being developed clinically for the aerosol treatment of chronic respiratory tract infections such as those found in cystic fibrosis patients. The company has also built a discovery and development platform and intellectual property estate around inhibitors of bacterial multi-drug resistant (MDR) efflux pumps (EPIs). Bacterial efflux of antibiotics is a leading source of multi-drug resistance, particularly in gram-negative organisms. Mpex compounds have been shown preclinically to overcome efflux-based resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
