Retension Pharmaceuticals Company Profile

(Get Free Report)

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Our product candidate, RTN-001, is a next-generation, once-daily, oral, small molecule phosphodiesterase-5 (“PDE-5”) inhibitor designed to reduce blood pressure by potentiating nitric oxide signaling, a key mechanism underlying the development and severity of hypertension. While first-generation PDE-5 inhibitors, such as Viagra (sildenafil), were originally studied in cardiovascular indications such as hypertension and angina, we believe they did not have adequate bioavailability and tissue penetration to impact the smooth muscle cells of the central vascular and cardiac tissues and thus failed to achieve clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure.
