What Is The Deal About?

PMGC stated that Modulant has obtained a worldwide license for the two NorthStrive assets, excluding the Republic of Korea.

The company said that NorthStrive’s EL-22 and EL-32 assets are based on proprietary intellectual property targeting the myostatin and activin-A pathways. These pathways are key biological regulators of muscle development, strength, and metabolic efficiency.

PMGC added that these pathways are increasingly being considered as important targets for several applications in animal health and nutrition. This includes productivity of the livestock, feed efficiency, and companion animal muscle health and aging.

The company noted that while the license grants Modulant access to EL-22 and EL-32 assets, EL-32 is responsible for all development, manufacturing, regulatory, and commercialization activities.

What Does NorthStrive Do?

The company stated that its lead asset, EL-22, is designed to preserve muscle during weight-loss treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists.
