Company Overview

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small-molecule medicines for diseases associated with abnormal protein accumulation and misfolding. The company’s research is centered primarily on neurodegenerative disorders involving alpha-synuclein, a protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions.

Inhibikase’s lead investigational product, IkT-148009, is an orally administered, brain-penetrant Abelson tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The company is evaluating the compound as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies, including multiple system atrophy. Its development strategy is intended to address both disease progression and the underlying biological mechanisms associated with alpha-synuclein pathology.

Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Inhibikase conducts research and clinical development activities through collaborations with academic institutions, research organizations and clinical investigators. The company’s programs remain investigational, and its products have not been approved for commercial use by regulatory authorities.
