RA190 Small Molecule Proteasome Inhibitor for Cancer Therapy
Targeting the proteasome… • Proteasomal degradation of tumor suppressor proteins is found in many cancers • apoptosis arrest • sustained cell proliferation
Current proteasome inhibitors: • grave side effects • disease resistance • RA190: • Reduced toxicity • novel mechanism of action overcomes drug resistance • Preferential targeting of transformed cells
Mechanism Of Action • Binds to ubiquitin receptor RPN13 • RPN13 is part of the 19S Regulatory Cap • Responsible for removing Ub from target proteins • Proteasome inhibited • Misfolded protein buildup
The Drug • Orally available • Promising toxicity profile • Works on tumors resistant to bortezumib • Active against cervical and ovarian cancer, and Multiple Myeloma
The Business What we do: Find cancer cure Who we are: CanCure Inc. “Because we CanCure cancer*!” * By cancer, we mean cervical and ovarian cancer, and multiple myeloma.
