Acetylon moving to Boston’s Seaport Center

By James Connolly

Biotech Acetylon Pharmaceuticals Inc. is moving from its Albany Street location in Boston to the Seaport Center near the South Boston waterfront.

Acetylon is developing selective small molecule histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and other targeted drugs for the treatment of cancers, and for inflammatory, neurodegenerative, genetic and infectious diseases.

The company has leased 9,700 square feet of space for its new headquarters, including office and lab space, as well as two biosafety level 2 labs that are scheduled to be completed this summer. According to realtor Jones Lang LaSalle, which represented the property owner Beal Companies, Acetylon is the first R&D tenant in Seaport Center.

The news came just a week after Acetylon bumped up its Series B funding to $27 million, and closed the round short of its initial stated goal of $30 million.
