OUR PRODUCT

Aranda’s proprietary ADA-308 molecules are small molecule, androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors originally designed to overcome treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer. Due to excellent solubility and stability properties in topical route-oriented excipients and optimal pharmacokinetic profile the compounds are under investigation as topical treatment for acne.


ADA-308 molecules have unique properties for acne. As a first-in-class non-steroidal, purely AR targeted agents they provide a much needed topical alternative for systemic hormonal treatments for all acne patients. In non-clinical models ADA-308 molecules have been shown to act locally in skin and lack systemic anti-androgenic effects making them suitable also for men. Excellent safety profile with non-skin-irritating properties makes them a viable alternative to be explored as a combination treatment to other topical agents for maximum efficacy and relief of acne symptoms.
