Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company, which engages in the development and commercialization of oral therapies for elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The company is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan and currently employs 294 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2013-06-24. The firm is focused on developing and commercializing oral, once-daily, non-statin medicines for patients who are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are struggling with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Its products include NEXLETOL, NEXLIZET, NILEMDO and NUSTENDI. Its NEXLETOL and NEXLIZET (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) tablets are oral, once-daily, non-statin medicines to lower the risk of myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization in adults with primary hyperlipidemia. Its NEXLETOL is an ATP Citrate Lyase (ACLY), inhibitor that lowers LDL-C and cardiovascular risk by reducing cholesterol biosynthesis and up-regulating the LDL receptors. Its NUSTENDI contains bempedoic acid and ezetimibe and lowers elevated LDL-C through complementary mechanisms of action by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver and absorption in the intestine.
