  • Publication number: 20230357347
    Abstract: This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize or partially agonize or antagonize) glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (“GLP-1R”) and/or the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (“GIPR”). The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which modulation (e.g., agonism, partial agonism or antagonism) of GLP-1R and/or GIPR activities is beneficial for the treatment or prevention of the underlying pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, the modulation results in an enhancement of (e.g., an increase in) existing levels (e.g., normal or below normal levels) of GLP-1R and/or GIPR activity (e.g., signaling). In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein further modulate (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20230193248
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and kits for high-throughput, highly parallel polypeptide identification employing labeling of specific amino acid residues, barcoding and nucleic acid encoding of the labeled residues. The workflow and architecture described herein allow identification of polypeptides in a sample in a cyclic manner based on encoding of their specific amino acid residues and without use of protein-based or aptamer-based binding agents. Successful “binder-free” encoding takes advantage of the high affinity and specificity of nucleic acid tags, as well as the specific chemistry of certain amino acid side chains.

  • Patent number: 11535660
    Abstract: This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize or partially agonize or antagonize) glucagon?like peptide?1 receptor (“GLP?1R”) and/or the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (“GIPR”). The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which modulation (e.g., agonism, partial agonism or antagonism) of GLP?1R and/or GIPR activities is beneficial for the treatment or prevention of the underlying pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, the modulation results in an enhancement of (e.g., an increase in) existing levels (e.g., normal or below normal levels) of GLP?1R and/or GIPR activity (e.g., signaling). In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein further modulate (e.g.
