NBM-BMX

NBM-BMX is a new chemical entity developed by NatureWise Biotech & Medicals Corporation. It is the first specific histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitor in the world that has undergone clinical trials in humans. The development of isoform-selective HDAC inhibitors is becoming important in recent years due to the side effects observed in non-selective HDAC inhibitors.

NBM-BMX exhibited tumor inhibitory activity against many cancers, especially those with high HDAC8 protein expression. NatureWise owns the global rights and patents to NBM-BMX. Two Phase 1 clinical trials have been completed in both the USA and Taiwan with good safety and significant efficacy results. The phase Ib/II clinical trials for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme begins in 2023.
