Use of Acetalax for Treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Summary:
NCI seeks research co-development and/or potential licensees for a potential novel treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with acetalax (oxyphenisatin acetate).
Composite Gels and Methods of their Use in Tissue Repair, Drug Delivery, and as Implants
Description of Technology:
Gel materials, particularly hydrogels, typically lose their mechanical strength and stiffness as they swell. This property limits their use in both biological (e.g., cartilage and ECM repair) and non-biological (e.g., sealant) applications. Innovative materials in both medical and non-medical application areas are sorely needed.
Dopamine D3 Receptor Agonist Compounds, Methods of Preparation, Intermediates Thereof, and their Methods of Use
Description of Technology:
Due to the large degree of homology among dopamine D2-like receptors, discovering ligands capable of discriminating between the D2, D3, and D4 receptor subtypes remains a significant challenge. The development of subtype-selective pharmaceutical small molecules to activate (agonists) signals regulated by D2-like receptors has been especially difficult.
RNASEH-Assisted Detection Assay for RNA
Summary:
The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development and commercialization of a diagnostic assay that detects sequence-specific (viral) RNA.
Oxynitidine Derivatives Useful as Inhibitors of Topoisomerase IB (TOP1) and Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) for Treating Cancer
Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is actively seeking potential licensees and/or co-development research collaboration partners interested in advancing oxynitidine derivatives as novel inhibitors of topoisomerase IB (TOP1) and tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) for cancer treatment. These TOPI and TDP1 inhibitors, when administered together, demonstrate enhanced anti-tumor efficacy.
