  • Patent number: 10232049
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmacological compounds including an effector moiety conjugated to a binding moiety that directs the effector moiety to a biological target of interest. Likewise, the present invention provides compositions, kits, and methods (e.g., therapeutic, diagnostic, and imaging) including the compounds. The compounds can be described as a protein interacting binding moiety-drug conjugate (SDC-TRAP) compounds, which include a protein interacting binding moiety and an effector moiety. For example, in certain embodiments directed to treating cancer, the SDC-TRAP can include an Hsp90 inhibitor conjugated to a cytotoxic agent as the effector moiety.

  • Publication number: 20190062272
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new compounds for immunogenic treatment of cancer. The compounds can be administered as a single agent or in combination with an anticancer drug including modulators of other immune pathways, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors that target CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 proteins. The compounds can produce neoantigens through irreversible protein binding in cancer cells and generate immune response.
