Innovative Pipeline of Medicines
Our innovative pipeline aims to treat a broad spectrum of diseases using an entirely new modality. Our goal is to empower the body to fight disease using small molecule drugs to activate or inhibit the natural process of protein degradation.
Activating Protein Degradation
Nurix is at the forefront of a new modality of treating disease: Targeted Protein Degradation. Using our powerful DELigase platform, Nurix is developing a pipeline of medicines that harness the activity of a class of enzymes called E3 ligases to degrade specific proteins within the cell.
Inhibiting Protein Degradation
In contrast to Targeted Protein Degraders, which degrade a specific disease-causing protein, ligase inhibitors prevent the degradation and thus raise the level of proteins normally controlled by the target ligase. The ability to both turn up or turn down protein levels is a differentiating feature of Nurix’s technology.
Cell Therapy
Nurix is using targeted protein modulation to create superior adoptive cell therapies by growing T cells in the presence of our CBL-B ligase inhibitor. T cells are immune cells that surveil the body and eliminate both cancer cells and virally infected cells. Scientists have developed several approaches to using T cells taken from the patient as a sort of living drug, including chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL).
