  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CANCER
    Publication number: 20230129271
    Abstract: A small molecule compound IODVA1 has been found to have cellular inhibitory activity against several transformed cell lines including Ras-driven cells. IODVA1 decreases cell-cell and cell-extra cellular matrix interactions and reduces growth of Ras-driven tumors. Applicants also synthesized compound NIRA2 and showed in vitro and in vivo efficacy and potency against models of Ph+(BCR-ABL1) B-ALL and of colon adenocarcinoma xenografts.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 13, 2022
    Publication date: April 27, 2023
    Inventors: Nicolas Nassar, William Seibel, Anjelika Gasilina, Jose Cancelas

  • Method of identifying inhibitors using a 3-D structure of RAC-1 GTPASE
    Patent number: 7826982
    Abstract: The preferred embodiments generally relate to methods and compositions that affect the GTP-binding activity of members of the Rho family GTPases, preferably Rac (Rac1, Rac2 and/or Rac3), such compositions include compounds that modulate the GTP/GDP exchange activity, along with uses for the compounds including screening for compounds which recognize Rac GTPase, and methods of treating pathological conditions associated or related to a Rho family GTPase, including Rac. The preferred embodiments also relate to methods of using such compounds, or derivatives thereof, e.g., in therapeutics, diagnostics, and as research tools.
    Type: Grant
