Title of invention: Synthetic HumanDerived Peptides and Peptidomimetics for Cancer Therapeutics Keywords: Rpn13, selective proteasome inhibitor, proteasome ubiquitin receptors, (competition: carfilzomib and bortezomib too toxic, resistance developed), solid tumors, hematological cancer, HPV associated cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer Description of Technology: FDA approved 26S proteasome inhibitors, such as carfilzomib and bortezomib (Velcade®) have proven to be effective at treating hematologic cancers. However, resistance to these agents as well as their toxicity have raised concerns and highlight the need for new 26S proteasome inhibitors. Investigators at the NCI’s Structural Biophysics Laboratory have developed a new class of proteasome inhibitors. They are hRpn2-derived peptides capable of specifically targeting the Pru domain of hRpn13. Disruption of the Rpn2/Rpn13 interaction inhibits proteolysis by a mechanism that differs from those of the approved proteasome inhibitors. Potential Commercial Applications: • New class of proteasome inhibitors, targeting hRpn13 of the regulatory particle. Value Proposition: • Synergistic with, and more specific than, known proteasome inhibitors. • Alternate mechanism of action compared to approved proteasome inhibitors.
