About ARYx Therapeutics, Inc.
ARYx Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a
portfolio of internally discovered products designed to eliminate known
safety issues associated with well-established, commercially successful
drugs. ARYx uses its RetroMetabolic Drug Design technology to design
structurally unique molecules that retain the efficacy of these original
drugs but are metabolized through a potentially safer pathway to avoid
specific adverse side effects associated with these compounds. ARYx
currently has four products in clinical development: an oral
anticoagulant agent for patients at risk for the formation of dangerous
blood clots, tecarfarin (previously ATI-5923); an oral anti-arrhythmic
agent for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, budiodarone (previously
ATI-2042); a prokinetic agent for the treatment of various
gastrointestinal disorders, ATI-7505; and, an agent for the treatment of
schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, ATI-9242. Please visit
