Discovery of Well Defined Sulfated Glycopolymers as Specific Heparanase Inhibitors for Cancer Therapeutics

The remodeling of the extracellular matrix has been shown to be highly upregulated in cancer and inflammation and is critically linked to the processes of invasion and metastasis. The finding that heparanase is elevated in a wide variety of tumor types and is subsequently linked to the development of pathological processes has led to an explosion of...

Ruthenium-based caging of nitrile-containing enzyme inhibitors

Technology Summary: Novel synthesis methods for caging nitrile-containing bioactive molecules to a non-toxic ruthenium metal complex have been developed which enable light activated release of a cathespin K inhibitor. Numerous potent and selective cathepsin inhibitors are being developed as drug candidates. Cysteine cathepsins are involved in the pathophysiology...
