TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Discover a webinar delving into targeted protein degradation (TPD), an approach using cellular machinery to selectively remove proteins, promising more effective treatments with minimized side effects. The main classical small molecule drug discovery strategies are inhibiting the biological function of proteins of interest, which either block the active pocket or change the protein conformation. However, the significant disadvantages such as limitations in target candidates, dose issues and quick resistance foundations, are calling for a more preferable therapy with fewer side effects.

Key Points: 
  • In this free webinar, explore insights into targeted protein degradation (TPD) and learn new avenues for enhanced treatment efficacy through selective protein removal.

星期一, 十月 16, 2023

WATERTOWN, Mass., Oct. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing targeted protein degradation (TPD) to deliver novel small molecule protein degrader medicines, reported preclinical data highlighting the therapeutic potential in liquid and solid tumors of potent and selective heterobifunctional degraders of MDM2, including KT-253. The data was presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics on October 11-15, 2023, in Boston, Massachusetts and will also be shared at the 10th International MDM2 Workshop taking place October 15-18, 2023, in Tokyo, Japan.

Key Points: 
  • p53 remains intact (wild type) in approximately 50% of cancers, meaning that it retains its ability to modulate cancer cell growth.
  • In preclinical studies, MDM2 degraders have demonstrated the ability to overcome the MDM2 feedback loop observed with MDM2 SMIs and rapidly induce cell death in sensitive p53 wild-type cancer cell lines, even with brief compound exposure.
  • This may enable an improved therapeutic index, which could result in a superior efficacy and safety profile over MDM2 SMIs.
  • These data demonstrate in vitro efficacy of an MDM2 degrader, KTX-049, against p53 wild-type MCC cell lines that was achieved with brief compound exposure.
