SynAct expanded its melanocortin agonist portfolio through the acquisition of TXP Pharma AG. TXP Pharma was a privately held, Swiss-incorporated biotech company researching and developing pharmaceutical drugs for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by stimulation of melanocortin receptors. TXP Pharma has created a platform of more than 70 unique analogues of the naturally occurring melanocyte stimulation hormone (MSH) with a range of melanocortin receptor selectivity. The TXP-analogues have both increased stability as well as enhanced receptor binding and stimulation over MSH.
