Curacyte Discovery is engaged in the development of synthetic serine protease inhibitors in the area of hemostasis and anti-coagulation. Its rationally-designed lead development candidate, CU-2010, is being developed for preventing surgical blood loss. It is scheduled to enter Phase I clinical development by the end of 2008, the company notes. The US firm will continue the product's research at the Leipzig site.
