The conference will be held September 16-19, 2007, at the Centro Congressi Giovanni XXIII in Bergamo, Italy.

Pharmacopeia's lead internal program is a dual-acting angiotensin and endothelin receptor antagonist (DARA) that is being developed as a potential treatment for hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. PS433540, the first and only DARA compound in development, selectively blocks the action of two potent vasoconstrictor and mitogenic agents, angiotensin II (AII) and endothelin 1 (ET1), at the AII receptor sub-type 1 and the ET receptor sub-type A, respectively. As such, PS433540 combines the properties of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) in the same orally bioavailable small molecule.
