About Misetionamide

Misetionamide is a broadly active small molecule with a unique

mechanism of action that inhibits two oncogenic transcription factors, c-MYC and NFκB. Acting through c-MYC, misetionamide selectively disrupts the energy metabolism of cancer cells leading to cancer cell death.

Through NFκB inhibition, misetionamide inhibits cancer cells’ ability to proliferate and survive. This mechanism makes misetionamide an attractive tumor cell selective agent.

DIFFERENTIATORS

What Set Misetionamide Apart?

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

Broad oncology applications.

Misetionamide is a tumor-type agnostic agent that delivers broad utility across cancer etiologies.

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

Cancer cell selective.

Because it targets the energy metabolism of cancer cells specifically, misetionamide is highly tumor cell selective.

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

Promising Data.

Extensive preclinical studies demonstrated both an excellent safety profile and anti-tumor activity.

The ongoing clinical trial shows that misetionamide has a safe and tolerable profile with encouraging efficacy.​


{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

Synergistic activity.

Misetionamide has demonstrated powerful synergies with many commonly utilized anti-cancer agents.

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

Truly unique MOA.

Misetionamide leverages a unique and

proprietary mechanism of action.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Novel, proprietary, transformative.

Misetionamide is a tumor cell selective and broadly active small molecule with a unique dual mechanism of action of selectively disrupting the energy metabolism of cancer cells leading to cancer cell death as well as impacting nuclear factor-κB (“NFκB”) which effects cancer cells’ ability for protein synthesis and DNA transcription thereby restricting cancer cell growth and proliferation.

Normal cells and cancer cells generate energy differently. Misetionamide takes advantage of that difference.


Misetionamide decreases GAPDH and hexokinase, the enzyme that controls aerobic glycolysis, a key process in cancer cells' ability to produce metabolic energy.


Together the reduction of these two vital enzymes causes a significant decrease in ATP, the cells' energy carrier, resulting in oxidative, metabolic, and hypoxic stresses on the cancer cell.


In addition, misetionamide’s reduction of the transcription factor and tumor promotor NFkB results in anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and immuno-permissive activity.

PIPELINE

Broad 

applicability,

intentional

focus.

In addition to demonstrating direct anti-cancer activity, misetionamide has shown pro-inflammatory cytokine suppression in preclinical studies.​

Misetionamide’s inhibition of MYC potentially offers the opportunity of enhancing immunotherapy as well.​

We have chosen to focus on the treatment of ovarian and pancreatic cancers as our initial indications, two conditions with a clear unmet medical need. Early clinical experience is promising.​
