About Resunab™
Resunab is a novel synthetic oral drug with unique anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activity. Pre-clinical and Phase 1 studies have shown Resunab to have an excellent safety profile in humans and promising potency. Resunab binds to the CB2 receptor of immune cells and triggers a process known as "inflammatory resolution", in effect turning chronic inflammation "off."
