Adherex also has a rich preclinical portfolio based on its proprietary cadherin platform. This pipeline includes peptides and small chemical molecule successors to ADH-1; peptides and small molecules targeted to inhibiting the metastatic spread of some cancers; and peptides that combine both angiolytic and antiangiogenic properties.
