Profile

Acurx Pharmaceuticals is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing a new class of small molecule antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections.

Their primary value proposition lies in addressing the global antimicrobial resistance crisis by developing treatments that preserve the healthy gut microbiome while eradicating priority pathogens.

Competitive position

Acurx is a pioneer in DNA polymerase IIIC inhibition, currently advancing the first antibiotic candidate of this class into Phase 3 clinical trials.
