By GlobalDataThe company’s platform addresses historical challenges in natural product drug discovery, such as the detection of active molecules, prioritising property and structure, medicinal chemistry compliance and material access on a large-scale basis.
This technology aided the company in nominating a sixth new chemical entity development candidate recently.
The latest funds will support the subsequent development of Enveda’s platform. It will also facilitate the Phase I clinical development of the company’s three leading programmes.
Enveda anticipates commencing the trials of these programmes in late 2024 and early 2025.
The lead programme of the company is an oral anti-inflammatory agent being developed to target atopic dermatitis.
It has shown significant efficacy and safety in preclinical studies.
The company’s other pioneering anti-inflammatory asset, designed to inhibit cytokine signalling in the gut, shows promise for inflammatory bowel disease treatment.
Enveda CEO and founder Viswa Colluru stated: “The investors who joined in this round recognise our rapid progress, as well as our expansive potential and vision.
“In combination with our deep bench of top-tier investors, we are in an ideal position to advance our novel medicines into the clinic and to bring hope to waiting patients.”
In April 2023, the company raised $51m in equity financing in a Series B1 round to advance several drug candidates to clinical development.
