Nuevolution to Present at Anglo-Nordic Medicinal Chemistry Symposium

STOCKHOLM, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuevolution AB (publ) (NUE.ST) today announced that Thomas Franch, Chief Scientific Officer, will be presenting at the first Anglo-Nordic Medicinal Chemistry Symposium being held 11-14 June in Snekkersten, Denmark.

Dr. Franch will be presenting previously disclosed data from Nuevolution's RORgt inhibitor program (inflammation) and bromodomain BET-BD1 selective inhibitor program (inflammation). Furthermore, the Chemetic® Platform will be described including further details from Nuevolution's recent technology proof-of-concept study using likely the world's largest drug discovery screening library of 40 trillion compounds.

The power of Nuevolution's technology and in particular of this library will be illustrated with data from Nuevolution's screening of the HIV protease. Nuevolution will present data for compounds identified directly from this library with very good properties and potencies on par or better than current marketed drugs. Based on these data, Nuevolution will evaluate the potential need for new HIV medicines before considering further HIV drug discovery.  

This library is now included for use in Nuevolution's drug discovery projects with the anticipation that it will further increase the probability of success for tough disease targets.
