Small Molecule Inhibitors Targeting OTUD4-CD73 Interaction for Immune-Cold Tumors
Application
This technology introduces small molecule inhibitors, ST80 and Z22, to disrupt the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between OTUD4 and CD73. These inhibitors enhance tumor immunogenicity by reducing CD73 stabilization, improving the immune response in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and other immune-cold tumors.
Key Benefits
ST80...
