"This marks an exciting time for Dermata, and DMT210, as it will be the first real test of this novel compound in patients," states Gerald T. Proehl, President and CEO of Dermata.  "It seems like every day we are learning more about the broad capabilities of this unique product and are eager to progress our programs towards making DMT210 available for patients suffering from rosacea and other dermatological diseases."  

About DMT210: DMT210 is a topical gel, containing a new chemical entity (NCE), which belongs to a new class of compounds called Isoprenylcysteines.  This NCE is a G-protein modulator, designed as a structural mimic of the amino acid tail found at the C-terminus of G-proteins to reduce inflammation and erythema by blocking multiple cell signaling pathways.  Because of DMT210's effect on multiple inflammatory pathways, Dermata plans to leverage this compound by developing it for multiple diseases.

They have a team of experienced individuals who are currently focused on progressing four programs for the treatment of acne rosacea, acne vulgaris, atopic dermatitis and ocular rosacea.  To learn more about Dermata and its pipeline of treatments, please visit www.dermatarx.com.
