Million-Dollar Molecules
baxdrostat
This highly selective, oral aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) inhibitor is being acquired by AstraZeneca via CinCor in a $1.8B transaction. The molecule is in several Ph. II trials (0.5-2 mg QD) for hypertension, CKD, and primary aldosteronism, appears to have demonstrated dose-dependent PK/PD and blood pressure response, and appears to be well-tolerated so far. CinCor licensed the molecule from Roche (RO6836191).
