Novel Small Molecule Drug for the Treatment of Constipation and Oxalate Kidney Stones
UCSF researchers have developed a novel small molecule drug that specifically targets and inhibits SLC26A3 (DRA), an anion exchanger whose inhibition is expected to have therapeutic benefit in constipation and oxalate kidney stone disease.
Potent TMEM16A Small Molecule Treatment for Inflammatory and Reactive Airway Diseases, Asthma, Hypertension, Pain and Cancer
A novel class of 2-acylamino-cycloalkylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid arylamides (AACTs) as potent TMEM16A inhibitors
Diagnostic for Precursor Lesions of Pancreatic Cancer
These highly specific biomarkers distinguish potentially malignant mucinous cysts from benign nonmucinous cysts in the pancreas to help diagnose precursor lesions of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The biomarkers can be detected through enzymatic assays with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity.
A Novel Method to Generate Specific and Permanent Macromolecular Covalent Inhibitors
UCSF researchers have invented a novel method to generate covalent macromolecular inhibitors. This strategy allows a peptide inhibitor to bind to its target protein specifically and irreversibly through proximity-enabled bioreactivity.
Novel ELISA assay to detect SULF2 in patient samples
This ELISA technique detects Sulfatase2 (SULF2), an extracellular heparan sulfate-degrading enzyme that is overexpressed in many cancers. Furthermore, this technique can potentially serve as a diagnostic for cirrhosis.
NOVEL USE OF A RECOMBINANT ENDOGENOUS PROTEIN FOR THE TREATMENT OF FAT MALABSORPTION AND GASTRIC MOTILITY ISSUES
The invention is a recombinant form of an endogenous protein that can be used to increase fat absorption and modulate gastric motility.
