At the event, Jeil Pharmaceutical plans to strengthen its network with global pharmaceutical companies and pursue partnering activities focused on out-licensing and co-development of key drug candidates, as well as overseas licensing of its medicines. The company aims to expand the foundation for global collaboration and identify overseas business opportunities.


At the event, Jeil Pharmaceutical plans to present its type 2 diabetes drug candidate JP-2266, its anticancer drug candidate JP9441, and its combination therapy for diabetes, Duglow, as key partnering assets, and explore opportunities for out-licensing and overseas business cooperation with global pharmaceutical companies.


JP-2266 is a type 2 diabetes treatment that works through a dual-inhibition mechanism, simultaneously inhibiting SGLT2, which is involved in glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, and SGLT1, which is involved in glucose absorption in the small intestine. The company is preparing to advance the candidate into Phase 3 clinical trials.


JP9441 is an anticancer drug candidate based on a SOS1 inhibitor that regulates the activation of the KRAS protein, which is involved in cancer cell proliferation. It is being developed to treat solid tumors, including KRAS-mutant lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers.


Jeil Pharmaceutical is also seeking to expand overseas markets for Duglow, a combination therapy for type 2 diabetes that has been launched in South Korea. Duglow combines dapagliflozin and pioglitazone, bringing two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action together in a single tablet.



Kim Sumi, head of Jeil Pharmaceutical's Global Business Division, said, "At BIO-Europe, we plan to showcase the competitiveness of our key drug candidates and products and expand opportunities for collaboration with global pharmaceutical companies. Through ongoing partnering activities, we will identify out-licensing and overseas business opportunities and broaden our business foundation in global markets."
