As a research-led healthcare company, we strive to develop solutions and medicines where there is high unmet need.
Fatty acids have strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity. But their solubility in water poses a challenge to using them in a clinical setting. We have developed a powerful, next-generation, and safe solution to this; by using amino acids, part of everyday foods, we have developed a method to get the fatty acids to solubilize in water. We are leveraging this patented platform to let the fatty acids shine. This platform opens the door to a multitude of applications in healthcare, agriculture, and more.
For over 10 years we have been refining and testing several formulations with more than 10 different fatty acids. Each has its own unique applications. The advantages of using fatty acids as therapeutics include:
High levels of potency in treating infectious organisms.
Water solubility means nasty solvents aren't required. And since fatty acids naturally occur in our diet, they are well tolerated. Can be applied topically.
Activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses.
No evidence of resistance development during standardized testing (GS-1).
Our formulation remains active, conferring ongoing protection against infections.
No harmful chemicals, water-based, and naturally occurring active ingredients.
Wintermute compounds have demonstrated efficacy for a wide range of organisms; most of which make up the CDC’s Biggest Threats list
At Wintermute Biomedical, we are performing leading-edge research on next-generation therapeutics and consumer products to prevent and combat infectious diseases. We are actively researching, developing, and testing:
Our lead therapy, Solexan, as a topical treatment for shingles, caused by Varicella Zoster virus.
New formulations to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that causes Impetigo.
New formulations to treat Buruli ulcers, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans.
There is great potential to carry this technology into many other industries. To make sure other industries can benefit from our technology, we created Ten Carbon Chemistry, a spin-off company working to get this technology into agriculture and environmental industries.
