RG7601 is a novel small molecule Bcl-2 selective inhibitor designed to restore apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, by blocking the function of a pro-survival Bcl-2 family protein. The Bcl-2 family proteins, which are expressed at high levels in many tumors, play a central role in regulating apoptosis and, consequently, are thought to impact tumor formation, tumor growth and resistance.

Description/Summary:
Lucentis is a monoclonal antibody fragment. It is designed to bind to and inhibit VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), a protein that is believed to play a critical role in the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and the hyperpermeability (leakiness) of the vessels. In DME, damaged blood vessels leak fluid into the central portion of the retina, called the macula, causing it to swell. The macula is the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision.

Description/Summary:
Anti-Factor D Fab is a humanized monoclonal antibody fragment targeting complement factor D. It is designed to inhibit complement activation and chronic inflammation in tissues. Complement Factor D is a member of the trypsin family of peptidases and is a component of the alternative complement pathway.

Lucentis is a monoclonal antibody fragment. It is designed to bind to and inhibit VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), a protein that is believed to play a critical role in the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and the hyperpermeability (leakiness) of the vessels. In wet AMD, these blood vessels grow under the retina and leak blood and fluid, causing rapid damage to the macula. The macula is the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision.

Description/Summary:
Mericitabine is an oral, small molecule nucleoside analog NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor of hepatitis C viral replication. Intracellular mericitabine is phosphorylaed to two distinct active triphosphates. These triphosphates disable an enzyme required to copy hepatitis C virus RNA, hence viral replication is halted.

Description/Summary:
RG1662 is a small molecule negative allosteric modulator that acts on a specific subset of receptors called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors alpha 5, GABRA5. They are present in discrete brain regions associated with cognitive processing. A relative increase in GABAergic tone is believed to be present in people with Down syndrome and responsible for cognitive disability.

Description/Summary:
RG1578 is a small molecule negative modulator of metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptor that plays an important role in affective and cognitive functions in the central nervous system. RG1578 has exhibited robust antidepressant and cognitive enhancing effects in a broad range of preclinical models and is currently studied for the treatment of depressive disorders as well as dementia.

Description/Summary:
RG7090 is a small molecule negative modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), a receptor in the central nervous system regulating neurotransmitter release, signal transduction, mood and memory formation. Preclinical data has suggested that modulation of mGluR5 functioning is expected to play an important therapeutic role in depression and Fragile X syndrome.
