Nanoparticle Composition for Nucleic Acid Delivery
TS-044109 — Lipid nanoparticles (LNs) usable for the delivery of therapeutic compositions, including, but not limited to nucleic acids (NAs).
Nucleic Acid (NA) based therapies are used to inhibit gene expression. Lipid nanoparticles (LNs) are capable of carrying these therapies into cells. However, this delivery requires overcoming several physiological barriers. For instance, one barrier is the acidic endosome conditions within the cel…

Novel Small-Molecule Integrin-linked Kinase/Phosphoinositide-dependent Protein Kinase-2 Inhibitors
TS-037647 — A novel set of molecules that inhibit integrin-linked kinase in order to suppress tumor cell growth and metastasis.
The Akt signaling pathway is responsible for apoptosis, cell proliferation, and metabolism. In tumor cells, this pathway is up-regulated and aids in promoting cancer cell survival. Complete activation of Akt pathway requires phosphorylation at two amino-acid residues, which are phosporylated by se…

Novel bacterial Type II topoisomerase inhibitors for the treatment of bacterial infections
TS-037293 —
Multiple novel series of small molecule inhibitors of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, including a lead anti-MRSA molecule with in vivo efficacy and a favorable in vitro safety profile. The technology offers potential options for Gram-positive pathogens (including MRSA, VRE, and Streptococcus pneumoniae), Gram-negative bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Acinetobacter baumannii, and mycobacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria).
Antibiotic-resistant infections threaten large numbers of patients: the CDC conservatively estimates ~2 million such infections and 23,000 deaths annually in the United States alone. Globally, experts attributed 1.3 million deaths to resistant bacterial infections in 2019, with six pathogens accou…
