Keeping the lights on
for CNS

For the healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, advocates, and scientists, SK Life Science, Inc. (SKLSI) is here listening to your needs, developing new molecules, enhancing advocacy efforts, and providing solutions that change what’s possible in CNS treatment.

Our Medicines

SK Life Science is committed to accelerating the development of next generation treatments for CNS disorders. SK Biopharmaceuticals and SK Life Science independently developed XCOPRI® from inception through to FDA approval.


The two companies also discovered and licensed-out the FDA and EMA-approved treatment for sleep disorders after completing phase 1 clinical trials.

{{obj.topic}}

We are responsible for lead compound discovery and optimization. This sector:

  • Identifies and validates signal and molecular targets
  • Develops screening technologies
  • Performs high-throughput screening (HTS) leveraging technologies
  • Participates in joint studies on targets known to have high target-disease correlation
  • Investigates the efficacy and safety of lead compounds

The medicinal chemistry sector of SK Life Science, Inc. (SKLSI) is responsible for:

  • Identifying a wide array of drug candidates for CNS disorders
  • Optimizing lead compounds in terms of their structure-activity relationships
  • Developing processes for clinical candidates to lead compound discovery and optimization

To maximize efficiency, we have implemented a CADD system, a high-efficiency synthesis infrastructure, an established structure-diverse library, and a target focus library.

The pharmacology sector is responsible for research programs in which drug candidates are studied to enable prediction of drug activity in the human body.
