Rib-X Pharmaceuticals to Present at Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 2nd Annual Challenge of Antibacterial Development Conference
Date:4/22/2008

NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Rib-X" or the "Company"), a development-stage company focused on the discovery and development of novel antibiotics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections, today announced that Graham Johnson, Ph.D., Chief Research Officer and Vice President, Discovery, will be presenting at the Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 2nd Annual "The Challenge of Antibacterial Development" conference on April 24, 2008 in San Diego, CA.

Dr. Johnson's presentation, entitled "Using Structure-Based Discovery to Define Novel Macrolide Antibiotics Targeting the 50S Ribosomal Subunit," will focus on Rib-X's ability to develop new antibiotic compounds using a drug discovery engine that combines a sophisticated, structure-based drug design approach with computational analyses and proprietary knowledge of the high-resolution crystal structure of the bacterial ribosome. Rib-X's most advanced discovery program is focused on engineering novel macrolides that overcome multiple forms of bacterial resistance. This discovery program has produced several series of structurally-distinct compounds effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those generally associated with nosocomial Gram-positive infections, community respiratory-tract infections and uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections (uSSTIs) seen both in the hospital and community settings. Three distinct compound families with drug-like properties are being advanced for Phase 1 studies to commence late in 2008. In his presentation, Dr. Johnson will highlight the Rib-X structure-driven drug discovery approaches yielding this richness of novel, orally bioavailable macrolides.
