Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTA) is a biotechnology company with a strong focus on research and development. The company leverages its robust chemistry-driven approach and drug discovery capabilities to create small molecule drugs that target viral infections and liver diseases. Based in Watertown, Massachusetts, Enanta is at the forefront of developing novel inhibitors aimed at combating the hepatitis C virus (HCV), among other conditions.
Enanta's portfolio includes several classes of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) inhibitors, such as protease inhibitors, NS5A inhibitors, and nucleotide polymerase inhibitors. These are complemented by a host-targeted antiviral (HTA) inhibitor class specifically designed against cyclophilin. One of the company's most notable achievements is the development of paritaprevir, a lead protease inhibitor that is a key component of AbbVie's approved HCV treatment regimen.
In addition to HCV, Enanta is actively pursuing treatments for other serious conditions. The company has a preclinical program targeting non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a liver disease characterized by inflammation and damage due to fat buildup. Enanta's research also extends to hepatitis B and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), broadening its impact on viral and liver diseases.
Enanta operates in partnership with AbbVie, which markets its protease inhibitors, while other promising drug candidates are progressing through the development pipeline. The company's commitment to innovation and strategic collaboration positions it as a significant player in the biotech industry.
Enanta Pharmaceuticals has initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial for EDP-235, a novel coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitor aimed at treating COVID-19.

The trial will assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers. Promising preclinical data indicate EDP-235's potent antiviral activity, with an exceptional EC90 of 33 nanomolar, positioning it as a potential best-in-class treatment.
