CombinatoRx (CRXX) Publishes Research Demonstrating Improved Selectivity Through Synergistic Combinations

July 6, 2009 8:15 AM EDT

CombinatoRx, Incorporated (NASDAQ: CRXX) \announced the advance online publication by CombinatoRx scientists of an extensive analysis of their discovery screening, scheduled to appear in the August issue of Nature Biotechnology. These new findings provide evidence that multi-target synergistic combinations may be more therapeutically specific than single agents.

By performing a comprehensive synergy analysis across pairs of assays covering six different disease areas and ~100,000 combinations, CombinatoRx scientists have empirically shown that synergistic combinations may yield greater therapeutic selectivity than single drugs. Therapeutic selectivity occurs when a treatment has more beneficial than toxic effect. Additional preclinical analysis by the authors on sample combinations shows that this selectivity results from coordinated context-specific multi-target activity.
