Azafaros is a Netherlands-based biotech company developing nizubaglustat, an orally available azasugar with a dual mode of action targeting glycosphingolipid metabolism for central nervous system disorders. Supported by Dutch and Swiss investors, the company is focused on addressing rare lysosomal storage diseases and other neurodegenerative conditions. Founded in 2018, Azafaros is currently in the pre-clinical stage, advancing its lead candidate through IND-enabling studies.
