Description of Business and Basis of Preparation	1. Description of Business and Basis of Preparation Organization SCYNEXIS, Inc. ("SCYNEXIS" or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to advancing innovative solutions for severe rare diseases. The Company has acquired SCY-770, a novel, highly selective, direct AMP-activated protein kinase (“AMPK”) activator, for the treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease ("ADPKD"), a progressive inherited kidney disorder characterized by the development and enlargement of fluid-filled renal cysts, progressive loss of kidney function and an increased risk of end-stage kidney disease. SCY-770 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is designed to address many of the underlying drivers of ADPKD by reducing cyst growth and disease progression. The Company's proprietary antifungal platform “fungerps” includes BREXAFEMME® (ibrexafungerp tablets), the first approved representative of this novel class, which was licensed to GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited ("GSK") in May 2023, and SCY-247, currently in clinical stages of development. Ibrexafungerp was approved by the FDA as BREXAFEMME for the treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis in 2021 and for the reduction in the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis in 2022. The Company owns 100% of the rights to SCY-247, as well as additional fungerp compounds in preclinical and discovery stages of development. The FDA has granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product status, Fast Track, and Orphan Drug designations for the oral formulation of SCY-247. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $406.4 million at March 31, 2026. The Company's capital resources primarily comprised cash and cash equivalents and investments of $72.4 million at March 31, 2026. While the Company believes its capital resources are sufficient to fund the Company’s on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's liquidity could be materially affected over this period by: (1) its ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding; (2) costs associated with new strategic alliances, or new and existing licensing and collaboration arrangements; (3) negative regulatory events or unanticipated costs related to its development of SCY-770 and SCY-247; and (4) any other unanticipated material negative events or costs.

The letter from Nasdaq had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days from June 20, 2025, or until December 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. In December 2025, the Company announced that it had received an additional 180-calendar-day extension from the Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, as outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company now has until June 15, 2026, to meet the requirement for the Company's shares of common stock to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq's discretion to require up to twenty consecutive business days.

Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
