Graviton Bioscience, a privately held clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on therapies that inhibit Rho/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2, along with other therapeutic compounds, announces a strategic investment from Sanofi. Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi receives a right of first negotiation to license compounds across various indications, including immunological and metabolic syndrome indications, driving the momentum behind ROCK2 inhibitor treatments. ROCK2 is an effector of the small GTPase Rho and belongs to the AGC family of kinases. It is implicated in the pathology of multiple diseases, including metabolic, autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurologic disorders for which there is either inadequate or no treatment at all.
