Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (Amicus) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of orally administered, small molecule drugs, known as pharmacological chaperones, for the treatment of a range of human genetic diseases. Its approach to the treatment of human genetic diseases consists of using pharmacological chaperones that selectively bind to the target protein, increasing the stability of the protein and helping it fold into the correct three-dimensional shape.
The Company’s lead products in development are Amigal for Fabry disease, Plicera for Gaucher disease and AT2220 for Pompe disease. The standard of treatment for Fabry, Gaucher and Pompe is enzyme replacement therapy. In November 2007, the Company entered into a collaboration with Shire Pharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd. (Shire), to jointly develop its three lead pharmacological chaperone compounds for lysosomal storage disorders.
