Driven by Science. Inspired by Patients.

Our Mission

Our portfolio spans two clinical-stage programs built on validated mechanisms: direct AMPK activation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and glucan synthase inhibition in serious and drug-resistant fungal infection. Guided by deep scientific expertise and disciplined development, we advance programs selected for the strength of their biology and the clarity of their path to patients.

SCYNEXIS develops therapies that target the biology driving severe rare disease, in indications where approved options are limited by tolerability or do not yet exist.

Our work is focused on advancing innovative solutions for
severe rare diseases

ADPKD: A Significant Unmet Need. A Novel Therapeutic Approach.

As cysts grow and kidney function declines, many patients with ADPKD eventually progress to end-stage renal disease. SCY-770 is designed to directly activate AMPK, targeting key metabolic pathways that contribute to disease progression, introducing a novel mechanism with the potential to change the treatment paradigm.

Life-Threatening Infections: Serious, Invasive and Often Deadly

Serious, invasive and often deadly fungal infections treated in the hospital setting are increasingly drug resistant. Our first-in-class antifungal platform can give patients and healthcare professionals innovative new weapons to deploy against these dangerous diseases.

Experience Across Development, Approval, and Global Partnering

Our leadership team has successfully advanced therapies through clinical development, FDA approval, and global licensing transactions, bringing proven experience to every program in our portfolio.
