  • Patent number: 12042542
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which function as antibody mimetic compounds. These compounds are bifunctional/multifunctional compounds which contain at least one cancer cell binding moiety which selectively binds to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and a FC receptor binding moiety which modulates an FC immune receptor, preferably a Fc?RI receptor. Compounds according to the present invention bind selectively to cancer cells which upregulate PSMA and through that interaction, place the Fc receptor binding moiety of the compound in proximity to a Fc receptor, preferably a Fc?RI receptor, which can modulate (preferably, upregulate) a humoral response in a patient to cancer cells. Through this biological action of the compounds according to the present invention, cancer cells, including metastatic cancer cells, especially prostate cancer cells can be immune regulated, resulting in the favorable therapy of cancer in a patient.

  • Patent number: 11944619
    Abstract: This invention is related to the field of PCSK9 biology and the composition and methods of use of small organic compounds as ligands for modulation of PCSK9 biological activity. In particular, the invention provides compositions of small organic compounds that modulate circulating levels of low density lipoproteins by altering the conformation of the protein PCSK9. Binding these small organic compound ligands to PCSK9 alters the conformation of the protein, modifying the interaction between PCSK9 and an endogenous low density lipoprotein receptor, and can lead to reduced or increased levels of circulating LDL-cholesterol. High LDL-cholesterol levels are associated with increased risk for heart disease. Low LDL-cholesterol levels may be problematic in other conditions, such as liver dysfunction; thus, there is also utility for small organic compound ligands that can raise LDL levels.
