OrsoBio

OrsoBio is a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, developing first-in-class oral therapies that restore energy homeostasis in patients living with severe metabolic disorders — obesity, type 2 diabetes, severe dyslipidemias, lipodystrophies and MASH. The name is drawn from the metabolic adaptability of bears ("orso" in Italian). Its pipeline is led by three mitochondrial protonophores — TLC-6740, TLC-1180 and TLC-1235 — intended to increase energy expenditure and improve metabolic and cardiovascular health, alongside an LXR inverse agonist (TLC-2716) for severe hypertriglyceridemia and MASH, an ACC2 inhibitor (TLC-3595) for insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes, and an ACMSD inhibitor to augment NAD+ biosynthesis in metabolic and inflammatory liver and kidney disorders. The company closed an oversubscribed $67 million Series B in September 2024, co-led by Ascenta Capital and Woodline Partners with participation from Samsara BioCapital, Enavate Sciences and Longitude Capital. OrsoBio publishes a corporate site covering its science, pipeline, team, board, publications, events and press releases, but runs no developer program: no API documentation, no SDKs, no developer portal, no GitHub organisation and no machine-readable API contract of any kind. The only machine-readable surface on orsobio.com is the site's own WordPress CMS route index, which the site's robots.txt explicitly disallows at /wp-json/ and which is therefore not harvested or catalogued here.

OrsoBio is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences, and Metabolic Disease.

OrsoBio’s developer surface includes product news, engineering blog, and 14 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
