About us

Lime Therapeutics is reversing lysosomal lipid dysfunction due to aging, environment, and genetic mutations in neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Lime has developed a first-of-its-kind real-time lipid-detecting platform, LipidSense™, spun out of Dr. Dan Heller’s Cancer Nanomedicine Lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We used LipidSense to identify (a) our lead cancer target, and (b) a safe, off-patent, clinically safe inhibitor whose treatment led to a 50% lifespan increase in a mouse model of non-small cell lung cancer. This abandoned investigational compound is the starting chemical backbone for our new drug, LTX-047. Our second and third oncology programs are currently in the target identification and validation stage. In addition, we have a platform partnership with Novo Nordisk in the field of atherosclerosis, We are seeking additional therapeutic development partnership opportunities in neurodegeneration, liver disease, and lysosomal storage disorders.
