therapeutic options."
Aldeyra Therapeutics is a biotechnology company devoted to discovering
innovative therapies designed to treat immune-mediated and metabolic diseases. Our approach is to develop pharmaceuticals that modulate
protein systems, instead of directly inhibiting or activating single protein targets, with the goal of optimizing multiple pathways at
once while minimizing toxicity. Our product candidates include RASP (reactive aldehyde species) modulators ADX-629, ADX-248, ADX-743,
ADX-631, ADX-246, and chemically related molecules for the potential treatment of systemic and retinal immune-mediated and metabolic diseases.
Our late-stage product candidates are reproxalap, a RASP modulator for the potential treatment of dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis,
and ADX-2191, a novel formulation of intravitreal methotrexate for the potential treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.
