ProteoTech Inc., is a private drug development Company founded in 1996 that is located in the Seattle, WA area (Kirkland, WA), and is focused on targeting amyloid diseases. ProteoTech is utilizing its amyloid and proteoglycan expertise in an effort to transform the lives of victims of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and systemic amyloidosis.

With over 200 patents in its intellectual property estate, ProteoTech is in human clinical trials for its orally active small molecule drug Exebryl-1^® for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, and an orally active small molecule drug, Systebryl™, for the treatment of Systemic AA Amyloidosis.

The Company is in late stage pre-clinical development with Synuclere™ for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and is also in late stage pre-clinical development for a novel small peptide called PeptiClere™ as a nasal spray for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
