A druggable small molecule manufacturer looking for technology cooperation to develop meis protein detection kits

Country of Origin: Turkey
Reference Number: TRTR20191015001
Publication Date: 22 November 2019

Summary

The company is a Turkish startup with the main focus on novel and high-level pharmaceutically active ingredients. They develop a protein inhibitor which is a target-based small molecule, druggable regulatory factor. It inhibits the transcription of genes regulated by a homeobox meis protein by modulating the activity of this protein. They are looking for technical cooperation to develop kits to be used in the determination of meis+ (producing meis proteins on their cells) patients.

Description

The company is a Turkish deep-tech startup established in 2018 by a genetics and bioengineering faculty member with the main focus on novel and high-level pharmaceutically active ingredients. Its team consists of molecular biologists, medical doctors and pharmacologists from academy and industry who are highly experienced in protein chemistry and drug development with a successful history of basic research and molecule design backed with many research grants and awards.
The company develops meis inhibitor which is a target-based small molecule, druggable regulatory factor. Meis inhibitor inhibits the transcription of genes regulated by meis proteins by modulating the activity of meis protein.
Meis proteins play a critical role in cell metabolism and are proven to be highly associated with diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity. The benefit presents to the targeted drug discovery researchers is providing insight into the biologic mechanisms of the non-communicable diseases. The molecule also has the potential of being used as a drug in its treatment.
Meis inhibitors provide targeted therapy to patients by distinguishing between meis+ cancer types and disease-causing oncogene. Using meis inhibitors on meis+ phenotype patients increases the success of personalized treatment.
There are no diagnostic tools available in the market that can determine meis+ patients therefore the company is looking for partnerships to develop meis+ patient diagnosis kits.
The company is looking for a technical cooperation agreement to develop kits to be used in the determination of meis+ patients.
