Sareum is a drug discovery company, headquartered in Cambridge UK, that produces targeted small molecule therapeutics, focusing on cancer and auto-immune disease. Sareum aims to successfully deliver drug candidates for licensing to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies at the pre-clinical or early clinical trials stage.
Sareum’s Chk1 kinase cancer research programme is a joint research collaboration with The Institute of Cancer Research and Cancer Research Technology Limited. The development candidate resulting from the collaboration increases the effectiveness of current cancer therapeutics in several in-vivo cancer models.
SKIL® (Sareum Kinase Inhibitor Library) is Sareum’s drug discovery technology platform that has so far produced the Company’s Aurora+FLT3, Aurora+ALK, VEGFR-3, FLT3 & TYK2 kinase cancer and auto-immune disease research programmes. SKIL can also generate drug research programmes against other kinase targets.
Sareum Holdings plc is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol SAR.

Haemostatix is developing first-in-class clotting agents or ‘haemostats’, for the treatment of bleeding in surgery and trauma. The company has pioneered a new approach to the control of bleeding that is based on a peptide that binds to the clotting protein fibrinogen, inducing the rapid and targeted formation of clots. This innovative technology platform is being used to develop a pipeline of topical and systemic products to prevent or control different forms of bleeding.
Haemostatix's products include: PeproStat™, a topical haemostat that is applied directly to wounds to rapidly control bleeding during surgery or trauma. PeproStat has a novel mode of action that is fast and effective. The product is also stable in liquid form in contrast to the main competitor, blood-derived thrombin, enabling the development of ready-to-use formulations, a key unmet need. HaemoPlax™ is a platelet substitute in development for the prevention of bleeding in leukaemic patients with platelet deficiency or ‘thrombocytopenia'. HXTC901 is a 'pro-drug' version of HaemoPlax that is activated by the enzyme thrombin at a wound site. HXTC 901 is designed to control more active bleeds in surgery or trauma.
Haemostatix is based at BioCity Nottingham, UK, in the City’s Creative Quarter

Selcia Limited is a leading worldwide provider of contract research services. Our headquarters are in Ongar, Essex and we have a branch in Hopkinton, MA. Selcia operates two divisions, Selcia Discovery, which provides integrated small molecule drug discovery to pharmaceutical and biotech clients, and Selcia Radiolabeling which specializes in 14C GMP radiolabelling.
In addition to general medicinal chemistry and biology capabilities applicable across a range of target classes, Selcia Discovery has particular strengths in three unique and highly synergistic technologies:
(1) medicinal chemistry of complex natural products
(2) capillary electrophoresis-based fragment and natural product screening
(3) PPI targets in particular peptidyl-prolyl isomerase targets (including cyclophilins, FKBPs, Pin1, together called PPIases).
Whilst relatively neglected by pharmaceutical companies in the past, understanding of the involvement of PPIases in many diseases is currently emerging. All PPIase inhibitors presently in clinical use or in development are natural products, natural product derivatives or have structures inspired by natural products.
The combination of these technologies has enabled Selcia to deliver several clinical PPIase inhibitors to clients, but has also generated IP for Selcia, which we have recently demerged into a new company, Mitopharm Limited who are in advanced license negotiations for a breakthrough drug in the field of acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Other applications in the fields of chronic inflammatory diseases, oncology, COPD, and virus infections will be developed by Mitopharm either via investment or via joint R&D programs with pharmaceutical companies.
We have also recently established Selcia Pharma, a spin out company focussed on the optimisation/preclinical development and partnering of Selcia’s preclinical antimicrobial (antibacterial & antifungal) assets.

Crescendo has developed a novel antibody fragment platform which generates fully human VH products, the smallest antibody fragments, that mature in vivo in a transgenic mouse. The company has a highly experienced antibody drug discovery team and capability. Crescendo is using the platform to develop a portfolio of differentiated medicines, with an initial focus on novel topical products, and is identifying companies interested in partnering this platform during 2013.
