- Myrexis, Inc. Myrexis, Inc. (OTC: MYRX), a shell company headquartered in New York, New York, focuses on identifying, evaluating, and making financial investments in life sciences assets. Originally founded in 1999 as a spinoff from Myriad Genetics under the name Myriad Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the company renamed to Myrexis, Inc. in July 2010 and shifted from biopharmaceutical drug development in oncology and autoimmune diseases to its current investment mandate. It previously advanced cancer therapies including Azixa, MPC-3100, and MPC-9528; however, following clinical setbacks, it suspended all preclinical and clinical programs in February 2012, distributed assets to shareholders, and avoided liquidation to pursue strategic alternatives worldwide.
Under CEO and CFO Jonathan Couchman, appointed in January and March 2013 respectively and operating via Couchman Management LLC, Myrexis maintains minimal operations with one employee and serves broker-dealer pricing needs in the OTC Pink market. The company planned liquidation in November 2012 subject to shareholder approval but continues as a dormant entity evaluating life sciences opportunities. No significant acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or product launches have occurred since 2013, with recent activity limited to sustaining its shell status amid low trading volume.
