About Relburn-Metabolomics

Relburn's lead program is focused on the development of transformational therapy for chronic gout – a disease whose prevalence is doubling every 10 years and currently afflicts 16 million subjects in major markets.  Gout is caused by excess uric acid (UA) in blood and connective tissues that leads to exquisitely painful and destructive arthritis, kidney failure, and possibly accelerated cardiovascular disease.  Standard treatment seeks to either reduce production or increase excretion of UA.  Unlike other anti-gout drugs, Relburn compounds exert bifunctional activities on both UA production and excretion.  Targeting enzymes that mediate these activities, Relburn compounds are markedly more potent than standard drugs and have demonstrated exceptional clinical activity.

Gout treatment is focused on reducing UA to a target serum level less than 6.0 mg/dL that is known to be beneficial.  The Relburn prototype drug – tested in more than 350 patients -- showed that serum UA routinely dropped to less than 1.0 mg/dL, even at low doses.  With this "clinical proof-of-concept", Relburn has synthesized compounds to further enhance clinical activity and reduce potential side-effects. This drug library is covered by patent applications that are exclusively owned by the Company.  Relburn believes its drugs may replace current 1^st-line treatments for gout, thereby leading to meaningful improvement in patient well-being.
