Amphista Therapeutics, a leader in next-generation targeted protein degradation (TPD), has published a study in Nature Communications demonstrating a novel mechanism for degrading the key cancer target BRD9 using its proprietary Targeted Glue small molecule degrader.
"The deep expertise of our scientists led to the successful integration of the favorable performance characteristics of earlier generation PROTACs and conventional molecular glues but with key limitations designed-out." - Louise Modis, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Amphista Therapeutics
The company's Targeted Glues are prospectively and rationally designed medicines that have shown promising results in degrading BRD9 via a novel mechanism with DCAF16 E3 ligase.
