Emeramide or Irminix® (N,N'-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)isophthalamide (NBMI)) is a lipid-soluble thiol-redox antioxidant and heavy metal chelator. Orphan Drug Designation has been granted for the prevention and treatment of mercury toxicity in the EU and USA. Phase 1 and Phase 2a clinical studies have been performed and found Irminix® to be effective and safe with no adverse effects. A Phase 2a clinical trial for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been completed in summer of 2018 and found Irminix® to be safe with no adverse effects.
