About SIR2501
SIR2501 is a first-in-class allosteric inhibitor of SARM1, a key driver of nerve damage in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), for which it was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA. By binding SARM1 away from its active site and maintaining the enzyme in an inactive state, SIR2501 is designed to protect nerves and prevent degeneration, while avoiding potential adverse effects observed with orthosteric inhibitors. SIR2501 has demonstrated strong neuroprotective effects in multiple preclinical models, and global Phase 1b/2 clinical trials evaluating SIR2501 in patients with ALS and CIPN are ongoing.
