Rinat Neuroscience Corporation
Rinat Neuroscience Corporation was a privately held biotechnology company that discovered and developed antibody-based drugs, including:
- Tanezumab (codenamed RN624),[1][2] a monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor for the treatment of pain
- Ponezumab (codenamed RN1219),[3] a monoclonal antibody against beta amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
- Fremanezumab (codenamed TEV-48125, RN307 and LBR-101),[4][5][6] a monoclonal antibody against calcitonin gene-related peptide for the treatment of migraines
- Bococizumab (codenamed RN316),[7] a monoclonal antibody against PCSK9 designed to reduce LDL cholesterol
- RN6G, a monoclonal antibody against beta amyloid for the treatment of geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration[8]
- RN909, a monoclonal antibody antagonist of the glucagon receptor for type 2 diabetes (T2DM)[9]
- REGN4018, a novel MUC16xCD3 bispecific T-cell engager for the treatment of ovarian cancer[10]
- PF-04518600, a monoclonal antibody targeting OX40 to enhance T cell functions and inhibit tumor growth[11]
Rinat was founded in 2001 by Arnon Rosenthal,[12][13] who was also Rinat's president, chief scientific office and board director, and Patrick Lynn,[14] following a broad licensing agreement with Genentech,[15] and was acquired by Pfizer in 2006 for approximately $500M.[16][17] Rinat currently operates as an independent biotechnology unit within Pfizer's Worldwide R&D group in South San Francisco.[18]
