Enhancing
protein therapeutics
through
selective modification
Advanced Proteome Therapeutics is developing a new technology
platform that can shorten the time-to-market for the commercialization
of protein therapeutics. This patent-pending technology platform
incorporates a novel method for the selective modification
of proteins that affords opportunities to improve key therapeutic
properties. The technology has the potential of improving
the properties of a growing list of off-patent protein therapeutics
resulting in the development of investigational new drugs.
APT’s commercialization strategy is to modify selected
protein therapeutics, demonstrate their improved properties though
in-vivo testing, and then partner with established pharmaceutical
companies.
The Company’s technology features a method of attaching
efficacy-enhancing entities to proteins to improve their therapeutic
properties. APT’s technology exploits molecular chaperones
that are capable of guiding enhancing entities to sites on the
protein that are key to improving such properties. A unique,
commercially and clinically attractive feature of the technology
is that it does not require changing or mutating the protein’s
natural sequence since such modifications might induce undesirable
immunological reactions.
Advanced Proteome Therapeutics’ technology holds forth
the prospect of rapidly generating therapeutic proteins with
enhanced properties, in the fastest growing segment of the market
for ethical drugs. Of particular interest are commercially viable
protein therapeutics with established markets which are candidates
for redevelopment to benefit the patient population and create
new patent life. |
