RP6503 is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of the delta and gamma isoforms of PI3K. It is to be delivered via the inhalation route and has a long duration of action along with excellent PI3K isoform selectivity, which is expected to result in better safety. RP3128 has been optimized with high potency for CRAC channel inhibition, selectivity over the other voltage gated channels and excellent oral bioavailability. Rhizen intends to move both these compounds to the clinic in 2014.

Details of the presentations:
