HPN-100 is a pre-pro-drug of phenylacetic acid which is the active moiety of BUPHENYL(R), the only therapy currently FDA-approved as adjunctive therapy for the chronic management of patients with the most prevalent urea cycle deficiencies including those related to carbamylphosphate synthetase, ornithine transcarbamylase and argininosuccinic acid synthetase. HPN-100 is dosed orally in liquid form.

"Receiving orphan drug designation for HPN-100 in the treatment of urea cycle disorders is an important milestone and provides meaningful benefits to the Company as we work to complete clinical trials for this investigational compound," commented Donald Santel, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion Therapeutics.

"The designation of HPN-100 as an orphan drug for the treatment of urea cycle disorders recognizes the unmet need that remains in this patient population," said Cindy LeMons, Executive Director of the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation (NUCDF). "We are encouraged by this designation and look forward to initiation of the phase III clinical trials."
