Follicum

Follicum has a new peptide class with great potential in the treatment of diabetes. During the past year, we have carried out a variety of preclinical studies that have shown that Follicum’s peptides have insulin-releasing effects that are comparable to, or even better than, existing diabetes treatments. Moreover, insulin release is potentiated with increasing glucose concentration in in vitro studies. The potential of the peptides has also been confirmed in glucose tolerance tests where they have a glucose lowering effect in experimental animals. The market for diabetes-related drugs is huge and very competitive. Therefore, we are focusing on identifying factors that can differentiate us from competitors and thereby lead to an early partnership engagement.
