</ul>
JERSEY CITY, N.J., April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SCYNEXIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCYX#NASDAQ">SCYX</a>), a biotechnology company pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections, today announced the presentation of preclinical efficacy data on its second generation fungerp candidate SCY-247 at the ESCMID Global 2024 congress (formerly known as ECCMID) in Barcelona, Spain from April 27-30, 2024.
"We continue to be excited about the potential of our second generation fungerp SCY-247 to address the critical need for new antifungal treatments, particularly for invasive fungal infections where current options are limited and resistance is increasing," said David Angulo, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SCYNEXIS. "The positive data presented at ESCMID Global further strengthen our confidence in SCY-247's ability to combat these difficult-to-treat infections, and we look forward to its continued advancement as we aim to enter clinical stage by year end."
Nathan Wiederhold, Pharm.D., Professor, Director – Fungus Testing Laboratory, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, delivered an oral presentation entitled, "The novel second-generation IV/oral triterpenoid SCY-247 is efficacious in an experimental murine model of invasive candidiasis caused by Candida glabrata." C. glabrata, a high priority fungal pathogen on the World Health Organization fungal priority pathogens list (WHO FPPL), is a major cause of invasive candidiasis with an increasing rate of resistance against current antifungals. In a mouse model of invasive candidiasis caused by C. glabrata, SCY-247 showed promising in vivo efficacy. Following inoculation with C. glabrata, mice were treated with either vehicle control, oral SCY-247 (16, 32, &amp; 48 mg/kg), oral fluconazole 20 mg/kg, or parenteral caspofungin 1 mg/kg for 7 days. In mice treated with SCY-247, dose-dependent reductions of fungal burden in both kidneys and lungs were observed. Fungal burden within the kidneys was significantly lower in each SCY-247 group versus vehicle (p0.01 for all comparisons). Lung fungal burden in the SCY-247 32 mg/kg and 48 mg/kg groups was also significantly lower versus placebo (p0.01 for both comparisons). In contrast, caspofungin significantly lowered fungal burden within the kidneys (p=0.01) but not the lungs, while fungal burden in mice treated with fluconazole was similar to controls in both organs. The findings in this model illustrate the meaningful efficacy of SCY-247 against C. glabrata, its ability to reach efficacious concentrations after oral administration and suggests an improved lung penetration of SCY-247 relative to echinocandins.
Dr. Wiederhold also presented a poster entitled, "SCY-247, a novel second-generation IV/oral triterpenoid antifungal, demonstrates in vitro activity against fungal pathogens, including azole-resistant strains of Candida and Aspergillus." In this study, SCY-247 was tested against 155 clinical isolates of yeasts, molds and dimorphic fungi. SCY-247 demonstrated in vitro activity against a broad range of pathogenic fungi, with the most potent activity observed against Candida species including C. albicans, C. auris, and C. glabrata as well as fluconazole-resistant strains. Potent activity was also observed against Aspergillus species, including voriconazole-resistant isolates, and against the dimorphic fungi Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Coccidioides species.
Both studies presented by Dr. Wiederhold have been funded in whole or in part with Federal funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under contract nos. HHSN272201700039 and 75N93019D00022.
A second poster entitled, "Effect of SCY-247, a second-generation triterpenoid antifungal, on growth kinetics and ultrastructure of Candida auris," was presented by Mahmoud Ghannoum, Ph.D., Professor, Case Western Reserve and Director, Center for Medical Mycology, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. In this study, the antifungal effect of SCY-247 on cell morphology of both susceptible and multi-drug resistant C. auris was evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging. Results demonstrated that SCY-247 significantly inhibited the growth of both C. auris strains. Importantly, SCY-247 had a prominent effect on fungal cell morphology and significantly reduced fungal growth.
About Invasive Fungal Infections
Candida auris, a critical priority fungal pathogen in WHO fungal priority pathogens list (WHO FPPL), is an emerging fungal pathogen associated with nosocomial infections and considered a serious global health threat. It is often resistant to commonly used antifungal drugs, with about 90% of U.S.&nbsp;C. auris&nbsp;samples resistant to fluconazole and some&nbsp;C. auris&nbsp;strains resistant to all three main classes of antifungals (azoles, echinocandins and polyenes). Candida glabrata is the most common non-albicans species causing systemic fungal infections. It also has high levels of resistance to fluconazole, and echinocandin resistance appears to be increasing. Patients withCandida&nbsp;infections that are resistant to both fluconazole and echinocandin drugs have very few treatment options.&nbsp;Azole-resistant&nbsp;Aspergillus infections are also difficult to treat, and affected patients are up to 33% more likely to die than patients with infections that can be treated with azoles.
About SCY-247
SCY-247 is a second-generation antifungal compound, from a novel class of structurally-distinct glucan synthase inhibitors, triterpenoids (fungerps), being developed to address systemic fungal diseases. The triterpenoid class of antifungals represents the first new class of antifungal compounds since 2001. These agents combine the well-established activity of glucan synthase inhibitors with the potential flexibility of having oral and intravenous (IV) formulations. SCY-247 is in pre-IND development stage and has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo broad-spectrum antifungal activity, including in MDR isolates (or spp.). SCYNEXIS anticipates that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may grant SCY-247 Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations for the IV and oral formulations of SCY-247.

In this preclinical study, SCY-247 demonstrated in vivo efficacy equivalent to currently used antifungals in treating a Mucorales pulmonary infection in immunosuppressed mice. Notably, the combination of SCY-247 with liposomal amphotericin B resulted in a significant survival improvement when compared to monotherapy. &nbsp;
"The results from this preclinical study are very encouraging and illustrate the significant potential for this novel fungerp candidate SCY-247," said David Angulo, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SCYNEXIS. "Groundbreaking treatment options are urgently needed to address the significant limitations in effective therapies for devastating and very often lethal fungal diseases such as mucormycosis. We continue to expeditiously progress the development of this promising antifungal with plans to begin a clinical study by year end."

About SCY-247
SCY-247 is a second-generation antifungal compound from a novel class of structurally-distinct glucan synthase inhibitors, triterpenoids (fungerps), under development as a therapeutic option for systemic fungal diseases. The fungerps represent the first new class of antifungal compounds since 2001. These agents combine the well-established activity of glucan synthase inhibitors with the potential flexibility for oral and intravenous (IV) routes of administration. SCY-247 has demonstrated broad-spectrum antifungal activity, in vitro and in vivo, and SCYNEXIS anticipates that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may grant SCY-247 Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations for its IV and oral formulations. SCYNEXIS plans to begin clinical studies in the second half of 2024.
