Attacking Cancers Using Novel Methods of Targeted Protein Degradation

SugarCone Biotech

Cancer cell viability was reduced by 50% - 80% after 7 days treatment in vitro, however only limited in vivo data was shown in this paper. The degree of reduction of EGFR obtained ranged from 55% - 81% across lung cancer cell lines and the reductions were maintained for 3 days.

Kinase-impaired BTK mutations are susceptible to clinical-stage BTK and IKZF1/3 degrader NX-2127

Covalent Modifiers

Covalent and noncovalent inhibitors of BTK have revolutionized the treatment of these cancers. We therefore set out to understand the nonenzymatic functions of BTK and explored targeted protein degradation to overcome the oncogenic scaffold function of mutant BTK.

Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment with their ability to deliver cytotoxic drugs directly to diseased cells while sparing healthy tissues. This targeted delivery allows enhanced therapeutic efficacy while reducing the harmful side effects commonly associated with traditional chemotherapy.
