Company Overview

Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: PTN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of receptor-targeted peptide therapeutics. The company concentrates on designing and advancing peptide- and small-molecule programs that selectively target specific receptor systems with the goal of treating endocrine, inflammatory and cardiovascular-related disorders.

Palatin’s activities center on preclinical and clinical development, regulatory interaction and the pursuit of strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements to support late-stage development and commercialization. Its pipeline has historically included multiple candidate programs at various stages of development, and the company has sought to progress those programs through clinical trials while evaluating potential collaborations to broaden development resources and market access.

Palatin operates in the United States and engages with the broader biopharma ecosystem to advance its products. Publicly traded on the NYSE American exchange, the company has worked to leverage scientific expertise and external partnerships to move assets forward.
