Locus Pharmaceuticals is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, small molecule therapeutics to address major unmet medical needs. Locus utilizes powerful and proprietary computational technologies running on Linux-based supercomputer clusters to simultaneously identify relevant binding sites on protein disease targets and rapidly generate novel, small molecules that bind specifically to those protein sites. In contrast to other computational approaches, the Locus technology requires only a high-resolution, 3-dimensional structure of the target protein to implement its drug discovery process. Locus Pharmaceuticals is synthesizing and testing novel drug candidates for the treatment of debilitating and life-threatening human diseases, including HIV/AIDS, cancer, arthritis and inflammation.
