Broad Applications of PROTACS for Targeted Protein Degradation Employing a Molecular Glue-Linker-Warhead Approach
This technology is a high-affinity E3-ligase binder, which has been optimized toward the specific proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) mediated degradation of particular proteins. A PROTAC is a heterobifunctional molecule composed of two active domains and a linker, capable of removing specific unwanted proteins. This technology opens the door for...

DYRK/CLK PROTACS
This invention describes a set of novel molecules that target and degrade DYRK/CLK for several potential therapeutic purposes.
Background:
Proteolysis-targeting chimeric molecules (PROTACs) are small molecules used to decrease a gene’s protein expression by targeting the protein for ubiquitination and degradation after it is created. This mechanism...

Small Molecule DYRK/CLK Inhibitors and Uses Thereof
This invention is a new composition of matter spanning a 6,6-fused chemotype. The 6,6-analogs display strong inhibitory activity across protein kinases such as the DYRK family, including DYRK1A, DYRK2, and DYRK3, along with inhibiting CLK. The dual DYRK/CLK inhibitors have displayed activity in 3-D organoid models of glioblastoma. It is subsequently...

Tunable Fluorescent Indolizine Tetracycles
This technology is tunable fluorescent probes that are able to span the colors of the rainbow. The main benefit of this technology is that it can be prepared in only one or two steps; as opposed to the five to seven steps it would normally take. Not only is this technology quicker, but the cost of goods is also more reasonable and compares very favorably...
