Projectdetails

Introduction

Existing pharmaceutical methods can only target 15% of all proteins in the human proteome. Given this limitation, pharmaceutical companies are running out of options to develop effective drugs to tackle hard-to-treat diseases.

Need for New Targets

To have a better chance of fighting these diseases, further targets of the remaining, so far undruggable 85% of our proteome need to be unlocked.

PROSION's Solution

PROSION developed a disruptive platform of chemical building blocks called ProMs. The ProM-platform addresses a specific class of yet undruggable proteins linked to hard-to-treat diseases.

Applications of ProMs

ProMs can be combined into small molecule drugs to target proteins that play a key role in pathologies such as:

  • Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Immune mediated disorders

Current Validation

The platform’s potential is currently being validated. In its first project, PROSION addresses a yet undruggable target to potentially provide new therapies for pancreatic and breast cancer and fight drug-resistance effects within cancer therapies.
