-
Patent number: 11174311Abstract: It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Antibodies which selectively bind to complexes of such compounds with TNF superfamily members are disclosed. These antibodies may be used to detect further compounds with the same activity, and as target engagement biomarker.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignees: UCB BIOPHARMA SRL, SANOFIInventors: Alastair David Griffiths Lawson, Daniel John Lightwood, Rebecca Jayne Munro, James Philip O'Connell, John Robert Porter

-
Publication number: 20210140972Abstract: The invention is in the field of TNF signalling. Compounds have been identified which are capable of modulating signalling of TNF trimers through receptors. Methods of identifying such compounds are therefore provided. The compounds themselves have utility in therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: James Philip O'CONNELL, John Robert PORTER, Alastair LAWSON, Boris KROEPLIEN, Stephen Edward RAPECKI, Timothy John NORMAN, David James MCMILLAN, Graham John WARRELLOW, Daniel Christopher BROOKINGS, Rikki Peter ALEXANDER

Publication number: 20210088530Abstract: A new, stable trimeric TNF? structure is disclosed with distorted symmetry which can bind to the TNFR1 receptor to attenuate signalling therefrom, which can be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases associated with the soluble TNF?/TNFR1 interaction. Membrane-bound TNF? is not affected in its ability to signal through TNFR2, and thus the new structure of TNF? may be used in therapies which do not significantly raise the risk of infection or malignancy.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: James Philip O'CONNELL, John Robert PORTER, Alastair LAWSON, Boris KROEPLIEN, Stephen Edward RAPECKI, Timothy John NORMAN, Graham John WARRELLOW, Tracy Lynn ARAKAKI, Alex Buntin BURGIN, William Ross PITT, Mark Daniel CALMIANO, David Andreas SCHUBERT, Daniel John LIGHTWOOD, Rebecca Jayne MUNRO

Publication number: 20200400678Abstract: It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Accordingly, these compounds can be used as modulators of TNF. A new assay for identifying compounds with this mechanism of action is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: James Philip O'CONNELL, John Robert PORTER, Alastair LAWSON, Boris KROEPLIEN, Stephen Edward RAPECKI, Timothy John NORMAN, Graham John WARRELLOW
