General Info:

Adherex Technologies is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel cancer therapeutics. Its mission is to become an industry leader in addressing the unmet medical needs of cancer patients. The company currently has multiple oncology products in the clinical stage of development including eniluracil, ADH-1, and sodium thiosulfate (STS). Eniluracil, an oral dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor, was previously under development by GlaxoSmithKline for oncology indications. Adherex is developing eniluracil to improve the therapeutic value and effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), one of the most widely used oncology drugs in the world. Adherex also has a rich preclinical portfolio based on its proprietary cadherin platform. This pipeline includes peptides and small chemical molecule successors to ADH-1; peptides and small molecules targeted to inhibiting the metastatic spread of some cancers; and peptides that combine both angiolytic and antiangiogenic properties. With a diversified portfolio of unique clinical-stage and preclinical cancer compounds and a management team with expertise in identifying, developing and commercializing novel cancer therapeutics, Adherex is emerging as a pioneering oncology company.
