SKNY-1

Rethinking Weight Loss, Preserving What Matters

SKNY-1 is an oral cannabinoid analog designed to promote weight loss while preserving lean body mass, addressing a key limitation of current therapies.

Mechanism of Action

A Multi-Pathway Approach to Obesity

SKNY-1 is designed to engage complementary pathways involved in metabolic regulation and reward-associated behavior.

SKNY-1 exhibits differing affinity and activity profiles across CB1, CB2, and MAO-B.

The Science

Weight Reduction While Maintaining Whole-Body Density

In a zebrafish model of obesity, SKNY-1 produced significant weight reduction without a corresponding change in whole-body density.

Status

Advancing SKNY-1 Toward IND

These findings are preclinical. Additional mammalian, PK, and toxicology work continues as SKNY-1 advances toward an IND, targeted 1H 2027.*

*Subject to FDA clearance and other regulatory and operational factors.
