Science
IHP Therapeutics is building on nearly a century of clinical and basic science research with heparin and related carbohydrate-based compounds. While most widely recognized as an anticoagulant, heparin has numerous activities and heparin-derived compounds hold great promise for treating many different conditions, including infection and inflammation, which are critical for COVID-19. We are developing both novel compounds as well as late clinical-stage drugs like IHP-009, a new chemical entity with an established clinical safety profile. Our goal is to translate the therapeutic potential of these carbohydrate-based compounds into clinically significant benefits for patients.
