Pfizer Inc. acquired Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc, an anti-infective therapy-focused privately held company, in an undisclosed financial deal. The deal helps Pfizer to make progress in the development of novel antifungal therapeutics and thereby increase Pfizer’s market share among anti-infectives. Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer has secured ownership of Amplyx’s potential antiviral and antifungal pipeline drugs, including the lead compound Fosmanogepix (APX001), a novel investigational asset for the treatment of invasive fungal infections.

gepix has a novel mechanism of action with the potential to target fungal strains that are resistant to standard of care therapy, thus gaining prominence in lieu of antifungal resistance.
