Noxxon is developing a new class of therapeutics called Spiegelmers, oligonucleotides made from the L-stereoisomer of RNA that can be engineered to bind specifically to a precisely defined biological target and have been shown to be potent inhibitors.

Clinical and pre-clinical studies have so far shown them to be safe, well-tolerated, biologically stable and non-immunogenic.
