About Us

Mazal Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an early-stage whole plant pharmaceutical development company whose mission is to develop treatments for chronic diseases from combinations of whole plants and to build shareholder value through negotiated relationships with strategic partners to fund commercialization and marketing of these treatments on a stand-alone or combination basis.

Mazal’s lead candidate, MAHDL01, is a unique combination of whole plants that has shown a potential in early clinical studies to increase the HDL/LDL ratio. Controlled clinical studies have shown evidence that increasing this ratio in adults may improve overall cardiovascular health.

Mazal believes that MAHDL01 may also demonstrate an improved side effect profile due to its comprising natural components in contrast to commonly synthesized compounds.

Mazal is currently planning a Phase I/II, double-blind, placebo and active-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MAHDL01 alone and as an adjunct to statin therapy, versus placebo or statin therapy alone, in increasing HDL in subjects with low HDL cholesterol (hypoalphalipoproteinemia) who are maintaining a restricted diet.
