Esperion Therapeutics
Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. discovers and develops pharmaceutical products
for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Esperion intends to
commercialize a novel class of drugs that focuses on a new treatment approach
called "HDL Therapy," which is based on the Company's understanding of high-
density lipoprotein, or HDL, function. HDL is the primary facilitator of the
reverse lipid transport, or RLT, pathway by which excess cholesterol and other
lipids are removed from artery walls and other tissues and are transported to
the liver for elimination from the body. Esperion's goal is to develop drugs
that exploit the beneficial functions of HDL within the RLT pathway. Esperion
currently has four product candidates in clinical development. Esperion is
listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "ESPR."
