About Enanta
Enanta Pharmaceuticals is a research and
development-focused biotechnology company that uses its robust
chemistry-driven approach and drug discovery capabilities to create
small molecule drugs for viral infections and liver diseases. Enanta is
discovering, and in some cases developing, novel inhibitors designed for
use against the hepatitis C virus (HCV). These inhibitors include
members of the direct acting antiviral (DAA) inhibitor classes –
protease (partnered with AbbVie), NS5A, and nucleotide polymerase – as
well as a host-targeted antiviral (HTA) inhibitor class targeted against
cyclophilin. Enanta’s lead protease inhibitor, paritaprevir, is part of
AbbVie’s recently approved HCV treatment regimen. In addition, Enanta
has a preclinical program in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH,
which is a condition that results in liver inflammation and damage
caused by a buildup of fat in the liver.
