  • Patent number: 11771709
    Abstract: A compound of formula (I) and its antitumor application are disclosed. The compounds of formula (I) have degradation and inhibitory effects on ALK target proteins. They are mainly composed of four parts: the first part, ALK-TKI, being compounds with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity; the second part, LIN, being different kinds of linker (Linker); the third part, the ULM, being a small molecule ligand (ULM, ubiquitin ligase binding moiety) with ubiquitination of VHL, CRBN or other proteases; and the fourth part, the group A, being a carbonyl group or absent, which covalently bond ALK-TKI to LIN, wherein LIN and ULM are covalently bonded. A series of compounds designed and synthesized by the present disclosure have wide pharmacological activities, have functions of degrading ALK protein and inhibiting ALK activity, and can be used for related tumor treatment.

  • Patent number: 11726082
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening drug candidates for treating a disease using the interaction between calcium and phosphatidylinositol phosphate. Particularly in the present invention, it was confirmed that the concentration of calcium was increased in the obesity induced insulin resistance animal model and the increased calcium concentration inhibited the migration of Akt protein containing PH domain and the signal transduction, while the protein containing C2 domain was able to migrate to the cell membrane by binding to calcium/PIP complex even under the condition of high calcium concentration. Therefore, the investigation of the interaction between calcium and PIP can be a useful method for screening of drug candidates for treating metabolic disease, cancer or hypertension.
