  • Publication number: 20220409589
    Abstract: The invention relates to heterocyclic compounds consisting of a core nitrogen atom surrounded by three pendant groups, wherein two of the three pendant groups are preferably benzimidazolyl methyl and tetrahydroquinolyl, and the third pendant group contains N and optionally contains additional rings. The compounds bind to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, and demonstrate protective effects against infection of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

  • Publication number: 20220242958
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bispecific polypeptides comprising a first and a second immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISV), wherein said first ISV binds to a first target on the surface of a cancer cell with a low affinity and, when bound inhibits a function of said first target, and a said second ISV binds to a second target on the surface of said cell with a high affinity and wherein said first target is different from said second target. The present invention further discloses methods for identifying and making the same.
