SINGAPORE, PARIS and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lynxkite is expanding its partnership with Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS) ("Biophytis"), starting with  the MASSIVE project (MAS Receptor Synthetic Innovation & Virtual Engineering for Sarcopenia therapy) and plans to expand the platform to other modalities. This strategic initiative, also supported by Singapore's Enterprise Singapore, is aligned with priority target areas in Singapore's Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2030 plan.

LynxKite Technologies, a leader in advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, known for its flagship open-source platform LynxKite, will integrate AI computational methods relevant for longevity research into its computational orchestration platform. With over a decade of experience, the founding team of LynxKite has supported more than 100 global enterprises — including major players such as Roche, AstraZeneca and Hummingbird Biosciences — in analyzing complex data using graph-based and generative AI approaches.

The first MASSIVE project aims to identify and develop Mas receptor (MasR) activator drug candidates targeting sarcopenia, a degenerative muscle disease associated with aging that affects millions of elderly people worldwide. Biophytis contributes its deep expertise in age-related diseases, its preclinical experience in MasR-linked indications, and its expertise in Mas receptor pharmacology. LynxKite brings state-of-the-art AI technologies, chemoinformatics, and software engineering coupled with scaling GPU computation on the latest generation of NVIDIA toolkits and neoclouds such as Nebius. Together, the partners strengthen Biophytis' strategic drug discovery program, aligned with its longevity-focused strategy and positioning.

The project's key objectives include:

1. Modeling the Mas receptor for structure-based drug design using AI and protein prediction tools.
2. Designing and prioritizing synthetic drug candidates through AI-guided molecule generation and predictive filtering.
3. Synthesizing and testing promising MasR activators to assess biological activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
4. Selecting and protecting the lead candidate through patent filings in preparation for preclinical development.
5. Developing and validating the AI software via feedback loops from in vitro and in vivo validation of candidates.

"The launch of MASSIVE marks a decisive step in our longevity strategy, combining our clinical expertise with LynxKite's innovative AI to accelerate the discovery of transformative therapies against sarcopenia," said Stanislas Veillet, CEO of Biophytis.

Gyorgy Lajtai, CEO of LynxKite, added: "We are proud to collaborate with Biophytis on pioneering computational longevity through our LynxKite platfom, which demonstrates how LynxKite can revolutionize discovery by designing, integrating and orchestrating relevant computational tools in diverse modalities."
