 PROFILE
Esperion Therapeutics develops drugs that spirit cholesterol from clogged arteries. Co-founded by Roger Newton, who helped discover and develop Pfizer's blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor, the company has a drug pipeline that includes ProApoA-I, which could clear blocked arteries; A-I Milano, which may clear arteries and prevent them from closing after balloon angioplasty; and large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs), which cycle through the body to remove cholesterol. Esperion is also developing treatments for diabetes and obesity. It may ally with other drug firms to make and sell some of its products once they are approved. Oak Investment Partners and TL Ventures each own about 18% of the firm.
