Telomir-1 shows promise in reversing cell aging

MIAMI - Telomir Pharmaceuticals , Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO), a $128 million market cap biotechnology company, has revealed new preclinical study results indicating that its experimental drug, Telomir-1, can reverse cellular aging processes. The findings suggest that Telomir-1 restores calcium balance, reduces oxidative stress, and protects mitochondrial integrity in human cells, potentially offering a novel treatment approach for age-related diseases. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock is currently trading at $4.15, down over 50% from its 52-week high of $9.39.

The study, conducted on human keratinocyte and retinal cell lines, showed that Telomir-1 reversed calcium dysregulation—a key factor in cell death and aging—within 10-20 minutes of exposure. It also significantly reduced levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are associated with oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Cells treated with Telomir-1 remained viable even under extreme oxidative stress, unlike untreated cells which showed signs of damage and decline.

These results build on previous research that demonstrated Telomir-1’s ability to reverse oxidative stress. The drug’s potential extends to various conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases, age-related macular degeneration, Type 2 diabetes, Wilson’s disease, and complications from viral infections. While the company shows promising research progress, InvestingPro data reveals challenges ahead, with analysts forecasting continued losses for the current fiscal year and a weak overall financial health score of 1.28 out of 5.

Erez Aminov, CEO of Telomir, emphasized the significance of these findings and the company’s commitment to advancing this science to clinical use. Dr. Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at Telomir, also highlighted the potential of Telomir-1 in redefining approaches to age-related conditions and longevity.

Telomir is progressing with preclinical studies to move Telomir-1 into human trials, aiming to develop a first-in-class therapy for several degenerative diseases and interventions focused on longevity.

Telomir-1, still in preclinical development, has not been tested in humans, and there is no guarantee that it will advance through the development process or receive FDA approval. The company’s focus on developing Telomir-1 is part of its broader goal to promote longevity and improve quality of life.

Investors and interested parties should note that these findings are based on a press release statement and contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. The safety and efficacy of Telomir-1 will be determined through continued research and regulatory processes.

In other recent news, Telomir Pharmaceuticals has reported promising preclinical success with its compound Telomir-1, which has shown potential in reversing calcium dysregulation and reducing oxidative stress, factors implicated in aging and disease progression. The company is advancing Telomir-1 through further studies with plans for human clinical trials, indicating a significant step forward in addressing age-related diseases. Additionally, Telomir Pharmaceuticals announced a breakthrough in stabilizing reactive forms of silver, Silver(I) and Silver(II), for medical applications, which could lead to new antimicrobial treatments. This development may extend Telomir-1’s capabilities into high-value medical applications, such as advanced wound care and infection-resistant medical coatings.

Furthermore, Rodman & Renshaw initiated coverage on Telomir Pharmaceuticals with a Buy rating and a $15 price target, based on the company’s financial prospects and the potential of its Wilson’s disease program. The firm values the technology of Telomir-1 at $200 million, highlighting its potential beyond Wilson’s disease. In another significant development, Telomir Pharmaceuticals reported progress in treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD (NASDAQ:AMD)), with Telomir-1 reducing oxidative stress in retinal cell lines. The company is moving forward with AMD disease models to explore the compound’s protective capabilities against retinal degeneration. These recent developments underscore Telomir Pharmaceuticals’ commitment to advancing innovative treatments in the biotechnology sector.
