Arachnova Limited

Arachnova is a virtual R&D based pharmaceutical company and a pioneer of therapeutic switching (finding new therapeutic uses for existing drugs). Two important projects are in early stage clinical trials. The first is in stress urinary incontinence, the second in dermatitis — both potentially large but under-researched disease areas in need of better therapies.Therapeutic Switching — an opportunity for partnership

Arachnova has an unparalleled capability to find new uses for existing compounds, and has used this capability to generate its own patent-protected projects. It is based on a unique way of looking at drug discovery, on extensive partnerships with academic investigators and on SwitchBasetm, its proprietary database. SwitchBasetm is an exclusive database that links known compounds to potential new uses that are being discovered, for instance, from the company's own research and from the revelations of new biology. The benefit of this expertise and technology is offered to others in the pharmaceutical industry. Arachnova offers a no-fee evaluation on the basis that it is typically expected to produce patentable licence and/or development opportunities in partnership. Arachnova is in a position to take suitable projects through to clinical proof-of-principle with its own resources.

Experts in project leadership, evaluation and outsourcing

The experience of the team, their proven track record in successful R&D and bringing compounds speedily through clinical trials makes Arachnova a highly valuable partner.

Arachnova is expert at project leadership and outsourced project management. Retained as consultants to instigate and implement projects for a range of companies, work has encompassed all stages of the development process. The company's Technology Web(tm) is a vast database of service providers that can add value during the discovery and development process, and is available through www.arachnova.com/search.

Many clients and project partners are already reaping the benefits that this approach can bring — faster development times with lower costs and reduced risk. It is significant, and a testament to the capabilities of the Arachnova team, that clients regularly commission additional assignments. In addition to consultancy on project leadership and management Arachnova works in other areas including the provision of expert opinion, preparation of expert reports and the completion of due diligence projects.
