About FDY-5301
FDY-5301 is a patented, formulated elemental reducing agent containing sodium iodide. It works to catalytically destroy hydrogen peroxide, which is naturally generated as a response to acute injury and contributes to loss of muscle and muscle function. Preclinical studies of FDY-5301 have demonstrated its ability to reduce infarct size, improve cardiac function, and improve skeletal muscle function, and Phase 1 data has demonstrated no signs of toxicity in healthy subjects.
