Summary:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the pre-clinical and clinical development of the compounds as anti-inflammatory therapeutics for systemic and neurodegenerative disorders.
Description of Technology:
Topoisomerase 3B (TOP3B) is the only topoisomerase that can act on RNA as well as DNA, and thus has been a target of interest for the development of cancer therapies and RNA viral infection therapies. In the context of cancer, TOP3B is not an essential gene, but a subset of cancer cells with pre-existing genome instability are particularly vulnerable to the inactivation of TOP3B. While inhibitors for other topoisomerases are among the most potent and widely used anticancer agents, there are no known inhibitors of TOP3B.
