ABOUT SULONEX(TM)
Sulonex (sulodexide oral gelcap) belongs to a proposed new class
of nephroprotective, or kidney protecting, drugs, known as the
glycosaminoglycans. A variety of members of this chemical family
have been shown to decrease pathological albumin excretion in
diabetic nephropathy in humans. Some of the members of this
chemical family include the following approved drugs: standard
heparin, low molecular weight heparin and danaparoid. These agents
all require therapy by injection and are all potent anticoagulants,
which are blood thinners capable of inducing bleeding. Sulonex, on
the other hand, is given orally and, in this form, has demonstrated
little, if any, anticoagulant effects to date.
Keryx owns the exclusive rights to use Sulonex(TM) for the
treatment of diabetic nephropathy in North America, Japan and
certain other markets outside of Europe. Diabetic nephropathy is a
long-term complication of diabetes in which the kidneys are
progressively damaged. Sulonex is a glycosaminoglycan compound with
structural similarities to the broad family of marketed heparins
and low molecular weight heparins. This drug has been marketed in a
number of European, Asian and South American countries for many
years by our licensor for certain cardiovascular conditions and has
an established safety profile at
