Mesentech

Seed Round in 2022
Mesentech Inc. is a regenerative medicine company based in Vancouver, Canada, focused on developing innovative therapies for bone-related diseases. Established in 2013, the company specializes in a prodrug platform that delivers therapeutics selectively to bone, addressing challenges associated with conventional drug delivery methods. Mesentech's lead product, MES1007, is a bone-targeted prodrug of a prostaglandin mimetic that aims to reverse bone loss associated with conditions such as osteoporosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The company's proprietary technology enhances the delivery of small-molecule and biological drugs to the bone's surface and interior, allowing for more effective treatment while minimizing side effects. This approach is particularly significant given the inherent difficulty in accessing bone tissue due to its hard surface and low porosity. Mesentech's focus on selective drug delivery not only aims to improve treatment efficacy but also hopes to accelerate bone healing and address complications associated with low bone density disorders.
