Dusquetide

Dusquetide (SGX942) is a first-in-class innate defense regulator (IDR). Dusquetide modulates the innate immune response to both PAMPs and DAMPs by binding to p62. Dusquetide shows activity in both reducing inflammation and increasing clearance of bacterial infection. DAMPs: damage-associated molecular patterns; PAMPs: pathogen-associated molecular patterns
