May 7, 2018 PR-M05-18-NI-024

CAMBRIDGE, England—()—Bactevo Ltd. announced today that it has entered into a drug discovery collaboration agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim to identify novel small molecule lead compounds. This collaboration leverages Bactevo’s revolutionary TIME (Totally Integrated Medicines Engine) platform, incorporating its ground-breaking synthetic chemistry technology, designed specifically to combine medicinally-relevant ‘tagless’ chemical diversity with ultra-fast phenotypic or molecular target screening in human samples, to further enhance speed, efficiency and quality in identifying novel in vivo enabled leads for undisclosed Boehringer Ingelheim programs of interest.

Under the terms of this multi-program agreement, Bactevo will receive upfront payments and research funding, and be eligible for additional research, development and commercialization milestone payments.

David Williams, Bactevo CEO commented: “We are pleased to be commencing this highly complementary collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim. It combines our cutting-edge TIME drug discovery platform with the powerful therapeutic drug development and commercialization experience at Boehringer Ingelheim to create much needed new medicines in areas outside of our current therapeutic focus.”
