RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(Marketwire - November 10, 2010) - Drug discovery and development company SCYNEXIS announced today the development of an iPhone application to allow mobile access to the company's HEOS® web-based SaaS drug research information management software.
The new HEOS Mobile App provides pharmaceutical researchers instantaneous access to the HEOS information on iPhone mobile devices. HEOS Mobile is available through the Apple App Store in the U.S. and Canada. The company is currently applying for release outside of North America.
HEOS is used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies around the world.

It supports the tropical disease research databases and the partner networks of more than 70 organizations worldwide by capturing, harmonizing and consolidating information.
"We're extremely excited to be able to provide our customers with HEOS information securely and instantaneously through the simple touch of a mobile device, making this important research information even more meaningful in today's highly-connected world," said Dr. Yves Ribeill, president and chief executive officer of SCYNEXIS.
