SAN DIEGO, 24. februar 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thesan Pharmaceuticals meddelte i dag afslutningen på en finansieringsrunde med B-aktier til en værdi af 49 mio. dollars, der ledes af Novo Ventures (en aktuel investor), og hvor SV Life Sciences samt Lundbeckfond Ventures nu slutter sig til Novartis Venture Fund i syndikatet. Thesans mission er at udvikle nye tilgange til behandlingen af dermatologiske lidelser, inklusive akne og børneeksem (atopisk dermatitis).

"Vores fokus forbliver på udviklingen af nye kemiske enheder med nye handlingsmekanismer. Alle lægemiddelkandidater i vores udvidede gruppe med produkter i udviklingsfasen er nye kemiske enheder (NCE'er) og nye mål", udtalte Gordon Foulkes, adm. direktør for Thesan. "Vi er vældigt tilfredse med den solide økonomiske opbakning fra fire venturefonde på højt niveau, hvilket giver os en uovertruffen position som biofarma til udvikling af nye lægemidler inden for dette område."

"Vi mener, at Thesan tilbyder en enestående mulighed for at udvikle helt nye klasser af dermatologiske stoffer, som hurtigt kan komme videre til klinisk udvikling", udtalte Peter Bisgaard, partner hos Novo Ventures (US) Inc. "Inden for de sidste 20 år har dermatologi været domineret af produkter, der er omformuleret eller lavet om. Vi ser Thesan som motivatoren til at bringe ny medicin til patienterne."

"Thesan repræsenterer en fremragende kombination af innovativ videnskab og et virkelig erfarent ledelsesteam i verdensklasse", sagde Mike Ross fra SV Life Sciences. "Thesan har potentialet for at gøre en stor forskel for patienter med dermatologiske lidelser", sagde Tracy Saxton, også fra SV Life Sciences.  "Gordon og hans team har samlet en utrolig stærk produktgruppe med helt nye kliniske kandidater."

"Dette er vores første investering på det dermatologiske felt, og vi er begejstrede over programmernes nyhedsværdi, den erfarne ledelse og det stærke syndikat", udtalte Mette Kirstine Agger, ledende partner hos Lundbeckfond Ventures.

I forbindelse med finansieringen vil Michael Ross fra SVLS og Mette Kirstine Agger fra Lundbeckfond Ventures indgå i virksomhedens bestyrelse, som også har Peter Bisgaard og Tiba Aynechi fra Novo Ventures (US) Inc., samt Giovanni Ferrara fra Novartis siddende.
