Science & Pipeline

NRG Therapeutics is leveraging breakthrough science in mitochondrial biology and disease mechanisms to develop novel medicines to treat neurodegenerative disorders. 

The company’s pipeline of first-in-class, CNS-penetrant, oral small molecules is based on inhibiting the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) through a novel mechanism of action.  

Our lead drug candidate NRG5051 commenced a first-in-human clinical trial in 2026.
