A method for treating TRAIL-resistant cancers
Unmet Need Over the past twenty years, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to kill a variety of human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo while remaining innocuous to healthy cells. Unfortunately, the…
An implanted biomaterial to accelerate bone healing
Unmet Need A leading concept in regenerative medicine is transplantation of tissue-specific cells, often supported with biomaterials, to promote tissue repair. While this strategy has achieved some success, its broad clinical application is hindered by…
Small molecules that target RNA structures within the CoV genome
Unmet Need SARS-CoV-2 is the etiological agent of the COVID-19 respiratory disease, the largest scale respiratory virus pandemic the world has witnessed since the 1918 Spanish flu and that has claimed more than 1.4 million…
Method for treatment of dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
Unmet Need There are over 50 million people worldwide with dementia, with about 10 million new cases diagnosed every year. Though approximately 70% of dementia cases are associated with Alzheimer's disease patients, there is no…
A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo
Unmet Need Delivery and therapeutic efficacy of small molecule imaging agents and chemotherapeutics are hampered by their short half-life, low solubility, non-selectivity to cancer cells, and toxic side effects. Small molecule chemotherapeutics, although in routine…
Iron-based photosensitizers to replace rare metals in solar energy applications
Unmet Need Unlike traditional solar cells composed of crystalline silicone, a new solar technology known as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), can be manufactured using roll-to-roll printing on transparent and flexible materials, thus providing a low-cost…
Photo-oxidants with comprehensive visible spectral coverage for energy conversion and catalysis
Unmet Need Photochemistry, or the use of light to promote chemical reactions, has only recently been adapted by pharmaceutical companies in the past 10 years due to the development of photoredox catalysts that utilize visible…
A bio-based method for producing adipic acid by using an enzyme to selectively convert 2-oxoadipate to (R)-2-hydroxyadipate
Unmet Need Adipic acid (1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid; COOH(CH2)4COOH), is among the most-produced chemicals worldwide, with approximately 2.5 billion kilograms synthesized annually and a global market of 8 billion USD. The most typical use for adipic acid…
A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin
Unmet Need Small molecule cancer drugs often suffer from poor systemic exposure, resulting from their low water solubility and short plasma half-life. Additionally, the off-target toxicity is the main challenge that undermines efficacy. Nanoparticle drug…
Small molecules that can safely exploit copper as an antimicrobial
Value Proposition The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans can live in both plants and animals, but when inhaled by humans can disseminate from the lungs to the bloodstream and cause life-threatening systemic disease. The brain is…
Targeting drugging molecules that promote cancer metastasis
Value Proposition Metastases, the spread of cancer cells to new areas of the body, are common and devastating complications of many kinds of cancers. For instance, bone metastasis occurs in 73% of advanced breast cancer…
Avicins and thioesterification to control protein function
Value Proposition Thioesterification agents can modify cysteine groups of signaling proteins in order to modify their activity. Pathologies that could benefit from such protein modifications, which modulate physiologic redox status, include atherosclerosis, cancer, bacterial infections,…
