Novel peptides for the treatment of type 1 and 2 diabetes and their neurological complications
TS-037747 —
A novel peptide therapeutic AAC2 comprising amino acids with a coumarin-modified side chain that improves glucose control and reduces neurological decline and anxiety through activation of the insulin-insensitive glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1).
A national study done in 2016 on US adults with diabetes estimated that 0.5% of the population was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (~1.6 million) and 8.5% was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (~27 million). Globally there are ~415 million adults living with diabetes in 2015, with a projec…

Self-Assembly of Therapeutic-Agent Nanostructures
TS-014812 — An improved delivery mechanism has been developed for hydrophobic drugs such as camptothecin which will increase chemotherapeutic efficacy.
Many cancer therapeutics exhibit extremely toxic side effects or have limited efficacy due to low bio-availability. Existing drug delivery technologies can add excessive mass to the therapeutic, grossly expanding the dosage necessary for response. Camptothecin (CPT) is a naturally occurring compou…
