From protein function to cellular health
Unique approach
Most drugs inhibit proteins that contribute to disease. What if we could instead enhance proteins that can restore health?
Restore needed levels of a key protein by extending its lifespan
Relocate a misplaced protein to where it's needed in the cell
Change a protein's activity by altering its structure or interactions
Broad potential
ENTAC™ medicines enhance the function of key proteins to treat a broad range of diseases.
Target previously undruggable pathways
Address hard-to-treat genetic disorders
Treat common complex diseases
Powerful platform
Our Encompass™ platform provides an end-to-end system for efficiently creating ENTACs.
Identify targets amenable to ENTAC intervention
Validate ENTAC-disease hypothesis
Design and optimize target-specific ENTACs
Our science
ENTACs are molecular matchmakers, bringing together target proteins with enzymes called DUBs. By recruiting the right DUB for each target, ENTACs harness the natural ability of DUBs to enhance protein function.
Target protein
Critical proteins that are in short supply, are in the wrong location, or have suboptimal activity
ENTAC
Enhancement-targeting chimeras are orally available, bifunctional small molecules
Dub
Deubiquitylases selectively remove ubiquitin molecules from target proteins
Who we are
We are scientists, entrepreneurs, drug creators, and problem solvers, all inspired by the idea that even when you’re ill there’s something intact within your cells that can help you get well.
Led by executives who have successfully transformed ideas into medicines, guided by scientific founders who have helped define the DUB field, and backed by investors with the courage to push drug development’s frontiers, we’re working together to bring ENTACs to the patients who need them most.
