Small Molecule Oncology Therapeutics Built with Antibody Surrogates
Small Molecule Oncology Therapeutics Built with Antibody Surrogates
Indi Molecular® has developed synthetic small molecule targeted oncology therapeutics against overexpressed folate receptors in ovarian cancer and KRAS G12D expressing pancreatic cancers. We created these therapeutic molecules using a breakthrough, synthetic protein chemistry platform: Protein Catalyzed Capture (PCC) agents. These targeted therapeutics are small synthetic peptide replacements for antibody-based therapeutics.
SPECIFICITY
Specific to the chosen epitope of the desired target protein
Affinity
Pico-molar and low nano-molar binding affinities with demonstrable cooperative binding for affinity enhancement
SOLUBLE
D-amino acids yield stable molecules, retain good water solubility and are renally cleared
Tunable
Fully synthetic small peptides for rapid synthesis and robust manufacturing
SPEED
Go from an identified epitope to nanomolar binding affinity in 4 weeks
IN VIVO
PCC have demonstrated in vivo functional activity and can deliver a therapeutic effect against both intra and extracellular targets
