Products and Services

At the core of Hua Medicine's product pipeline are several breakthrough treatments, each specifically designed to offer a unique approach to managing and potentially reversing diabetes and its associated complications. Key offerings include:

• Dorzagliatin (HMS5552): This oral medication represents a cornerstone in Hua Medicine’s approach to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) treatment. It is designed to restore the glucose sensitivity of pancreatic beta-cells, thus improving glycemic control in patients.
• Dorzagliatin in combination with Metformin, Sitagliptin, and Empagliflozin: These combination therapies amplify the efficacy of Dorzagliatin by pairing it with other established diabetes treatments, targeting various mechanisms of the disease to achieve better glycemic control in T2D patients.
• Dorzagliatin in combination with Pioglitazone for NASH (Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis): This innovative combo therapy extends the therapeutic reach of Dorzagliatin beyond diabetes, aiming at treating NASH, a common co-morbidity associated with insulin resistance.
• Dorzagliatin in combination with GLP-1 for Alzheimer's diseases: Leveraging the link between diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, this combination explores the potential of Dorzagliatin to mitigate symptoms or slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
• Dorzagliatin in combination with Insulin for late-stage T2D and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D): Targeting more advanced stages of diabetes, this combination seeks to improve glucose management for individuals requiring insulin therapy.
• mGLUR5 for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease: Moving beyond diabetes care, Hua Medicine is also developing treatments for Parkinson’s disease, focusing on the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGLUR5) as a novel target.
