About Verseon's Anticoagulant Program
Verseon's new class of anticoagulants are part of a growing portfolio of drug programs being developed with the aid of its proprietary, computational drug discovery platform. The novel small-molecule direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) act through reversible covalent inhibition. This unique mode of action that leads to novel pharmacology, including lower bleeding liability as seen in multiple preclinical tests. In addition to efficacy and lower bleeding risk, Verseon's new class of anticoagulants also has pharmacokinetic properties suitable for oral dosing.
