High-Level Description of the Product
- ST101
- Description: First-in-class C/EBPβ antagonist with dual mechanisms of action inducing both tumor cell death and macrophage repolarization.
- Key Features: Targets transcription factor C/EBPβ; promotes immune-activating functions and cytotoxicity.
- ST316
- Description: First-in-class β-catenin antagonist preventing β-catenin's nuclear translocation.
- Key Features: Modulates Wnt signaling pathways; averts tumor cell proliferation and immunosuppression.
- JunAP
- Description: cJun targeted SPEAR inhibiting cJun and cFos interaction to disrupt AP-1 complex formation.
- Key Features: Targets AP-1 transcription complex prevalent in various tumors; being optimized for clinical use.
- FoxAP
- Description: FOXP3 antagonist disrupting FoxP3 homodimers, thereby diminishing regulatory T cell development and function.
- Key Features: Promotes anti-tumor immune responses by inhibiting FOXP3 transcription factor.
