TransMolecular, Inc. engaged in discovering, developing, and commercializing therapies for glioma, metastatic brain tumors, and cancers. It developed TM601, a synthetically-produced polypeptide that was derived from scorpion venom, which is used to specifically target tumors in the treatment of cancer.[2] The company was founded in 1996. In 2003, Fortune Magazine listed the company as one of the 14 "most exciting, innovative companies in the nation".[3][4]
