NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals Announces Acceptance of Two General Posters and One ePoster Theater Discussion of its Novel GLP1R and GCGR Dual Agonist, DA-1726, at the American Diabetes Association 83rd Scientific Sessions
"Having two posters selected, including one for an ePoster theater discussion, at such a prestigious scientific meeting, is a testament to the scientific community's view of the strength of the preclinical data generated, thus far, for DA-1726," stated Joe Hooker, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroBo. "As previously announced, we intend to advance DA-1726, a long acting OXM analog that binds and activates both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptors, leading to weight loss through reduced appetite and increased energy expenditure, through the IND process during the second half of this year. If accepted by the
ePoster Theater Presentation:
Yuna Chae, DA-1726 Project Manager, Dong-A ST Research Center, will present a digital poster and high-level overview of the poster findings in an open discussion with a session moderator.

About NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals
NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company on a quest to transform cardiometabolic diseases. The company is currently developing DA-1241 for the treatment of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and is developing DA-1726 for the treatment of obesity. DA-1241 is a novel G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 119 (GPR119) agonist, which promotes the release of key gut peptides GLP-1, GIP, and PYY. In preclinical studies, DA-1241 demonstrated positive effect on liver inflammation, lipid metabolism, weight loss, and glucose metabolism, reducing hepatic steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and liver fibrosis, while also improving glucose control. DA-1726 is a novel oxyntomodulin (OXM) analogue that acts as a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) and glucagon receptor (GCGR) dual agonist. OXM is a naturally-occurring gut hormone that activates GLP1R and GCGR, thereby decreasing food intake while increasing energy expenditure, thus potentially resulting in superior body weight loss compared to selective GLP1R agonists.
