Harnessing the therapeutic potential of covalent dimerization

DIMERx is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a proprietary dimer technology platform to develop novel chemical entities for high-impact, underserved medical conditions that address national healthcare priorities.

DMX-101, is a covalently modified, chemically stable, halogen-free buprenorphine dimer (CAS No: 1820753-68-1) that acts peripherally at the source to provide non-addictive pain relief. DMX-101 is in phase 2 clinical development for chronic lower back pain. Across Phase 1 and Phase 2a studies involving over 400 human subjects and patients, it has demonstrated a favorable safety profile—including pancreatic safety—and clear analgesic benefits.

DMX-201, is a covalently linked dimer of arginine and agmatine—a next-generation nitric oxide (NO) donor being developed for conditions involving endothelial dysfunction, such as vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) pain in sickle cell disease, where treatment options remain dominated by centrally acting opioids.
