Company Philosophy
We are challenging ourselves to explore and develop medicines using creative ideas.
We are focusing on the development of drugs for the treatment of heart and kidney diseases.

This painting illustrates the direction of Aetas Pharma’s drug discovery.
In the distant background, a galloping horse is seen riding over a hill. The strong beanstalks represent the kidneys, the waterwheel in regular motion represents the heart and the river current represents the gentle flow of blood.
On the riverbank, a white horse is slowly relaxing by the heart-shaped katabatic foliage, and its heartbeat rhythm, known as the ‘gallop-rhythm’, which is seen in heart failure, has disappeared.
