Aeromics is a clinical candidate targeting a molecular water channel for the treatment of cerebral edema in stroke. A paradigm shift in its understanding of water physiology was the discovery aquaporins, proteins that form water channels to allow water into and out of cells, by Peter Agre (2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry). Despite the vital role of aquaporins in maintaining water homeostasis and its implications in various disease states, therapeutic agents targeting aquaporins have until now remained elusive.
