TelomirPharmaceuticals Announces Reversal of Key Type 2 Diabetes Parameters in Groundbreaking Preclinical Study with Telomir-1

Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announces compelling preclinical results demonstrating the ability of its licensed molecule, Telomir-1, to reverse insulin resistance to near pre-diabetes levels in a zebrafish model of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

In collaboration with Pentagrit, the study evaluated Telomir-1 in oral formulations across three dosing regimens. Results showed a dose-dependent normalization of blood glucose levels, improved oral glucose tolerance, and significantly reduced Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) values. HOMA-IR is a key measure of insulin sensitivity and resistance, with lower values indicating improved glucose regulation.

Key findings include:

ANovel Mechanism of Action

Telomir-1’s novel mechanism of action targets iron metabolism, a known contributor to oxidative stress, beta-cell damage, and insulin resistance. By normalizing iron homeostasis, Telomir-1 addresses the root causes of Type 2 diabetes, offering a potential breakthrough in diabetes treatment.

These findings highlight Telomir-1’s potential to transform the management of Type 2 diabetes by targeting underlying disease mechanisms and improving insulin sensitivity.
