  • Publication number: 20200123534
    Abstract: This invention relates to the synthesis of nucleic acid-encoded chemical libraries using common adaptor sequences. Nucleic acid strands coupled to chemical moieties may be contacted with identifier oligonucleotides comprising coding sequences encoding the chemical moieties and an adaptor oligonucleotides, such that the adaptor oligonucleotide hybridizes to both the nucleic acid strands and the identifier oligonucleotides to allow ligation of the identifier oligonucleotides to the nucleic acid strands. The adaptor oligonucleotide is then removed. Nucleic acid-encoded chemical libraries, and methods of producing or screening such libraries are provided.

  • Patent number: 9884122
    Abstract: A targeted therapeutic agent comprising a compound of formula I: B-L-D??(I), wherein: B is a low molecular weight binding moiety for Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX); D is a drug moiety; and L is a linker group that undergoes cleavage in vivo for releasing said drug moiety in an active form. The drug moiety is suitably a cytotoxic agent for targeted delivery to cancer cells expressing CAIX. The binding moiety B suitably comprises a sulfonamidothiadiazole moiety. The binding moiety B may comprise one, two or more groups capable of binding to CAIX. The linker group suitably comprises a disulfide bond and/or a triazole group and/or a cleavable peptide group.
