About SLx-4090, Dyslipidemia and Obesity
SLx-4090 is a novel Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (MTP)
inhibitor being developed for the treatment of dyslipidemia and obesity. SLx-4090
is expected to lead to reduced fat absorption in the GI tract and thus promote
weight loss.746.

"We believe there is a strong clinical need for drugs that raise good
cholesterol, or HDL, reduce triglycerides and lower bad cholesterol, LDL,"
notes Jim Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Surface Logix . This unique feature of intestinal selectivity allows
activity against triglyceride uptake while avoiding toxicity at other sites of
MTP expression including the liver, heart, testis, ovary, and eye. It is also expected that the lack of hepatic side effects with
SLx-4090 will lead to better patient compliance.
