Novan is a privately-held, clinical stage biotechnology company advancing potentially best-in-class therapies using drugable nitric oxide. Nitric oxide, one of the most studied molecules in human physiology, has been shown to exhibit broad anti-microbial activity and to promote vasodilation, regulate inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and eradicate cancer cells. Novan's initial focus is on emotionally and/or physically debilitating skin diseases. The company's patented Nitricil™ technology overcomes the previous delivery issues with nitric oxide by stably storing the gaseous species as a solid that can be transformed into targeted therapeutics. The design of Novan's products is driven by the patient experience, as the Company aims to create medicines that are safe, easily accessible, and can improve outcomes by using nitric oxide to target multiple aspects of disease pathology.
