DURECT Corporation is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is engaged in the development of epigenetic therapies that target dysregulated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation to transform the treatment of serious and life-threatening conditions, including acute organ injury. Its lead drug candidate, Larsucosterol binds to and inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferases, epigenetic enzymes that are elevated and associated with hypermethylation found in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) patients. Larsucosterol is in clinical development for the potential treatment of AH, for which the FDA has granted a Fast Track and a Therapy designation, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is also being explored.
