Zymedi is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming the role of ARSs (Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases) as a novel target for discovering and developing treatments for serious, life-threatening conditions lacking effective therapies or standard care.
Our lead asset, ZMA001, is a first-in-class therapeutic that targets Lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (KARS1). By controlling monocyte and macrophage infiltration to inhibit inflammation in pulmonary blood vessels, ZMA001 is being developed as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Currently in Phase I trials through a CRADA with the U.S. NIH, ZMA001 shows promise in addressing the root causes of PAH, a market projected to reach $9.7 billion by 2028.
