Compounds and Methods for Treating Cancer by Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (UCLA Case No. 2021-286)

Researchers from UCLA’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Radiation Oncology have synthesized a set of compounds for the eradication of cancer stem cells. These compounds are predicted to cross the blood brain barrier and show promise as effective interventions for glioblastoma in both in vitro and in vivo assays. BACKGROUND:...

Targeted Epigenetic Editing as Novel Therapy for Malignant Glioma (UCLA Case No. 2023-047)

UCLA Researchers in the Department of Neurology/Neuro-Oncology and the David Geffen School of Medicine have developed methods for the Cas9-CRISPR mediated epigenetic targeting of malignant glioma, and which results in enhanced chemosensitivity to standard chemotherapeutic agents. BACKGROUND: Malignant gliomas are aggressive brain tumors originating...

2020-832: Novel Compounds Targeting APOE4 That Enhance Brain SIRT1 Levels and Target Novel Mechanism of Action

Researchers at UCLA's Drug Discovery Lab and Department of Chemistry have developed new chemical entity (NCE) analogs of A03, which together form a new class of compounds that target apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4)-mediated deficits in the tau deacetylase enzyme, sirtuin 1 (SirT1). These NCEs provide an opportunity for novel therapeutic development in Alzheimer's...
