Synergy's platform technology is based on the naturally occurring human GI hormone, uroguanylin, a key physiological regulator and natural agonist of the intestinal guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) receptor. Synergy scientists have discovered and developed two unique uroguanylin analogs - plecanatide and SP-333 - designed to mimic uroguanylin's natural activity on the GC-C receptor and target a variety of GI conditions.
