ACCURONIX

Targeting drugs to the σ-2 receptor is one of the most attractive cancer drug targeting strategies yet discovered. Accuronix's expertise in σ-2 will drive an expansion of our library of receptor ligands that can deliver multiple anti-cancer "warheads" to tumor cells... ACXT-3102 is a novel small molecule drug conjugate in preclinical development for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, synovial sarcoma, and other rare tumors. It employs Accuronix's σ-2 technology to deliver a warhead that kills tumor cells by promoting both apoptosis and ferroptosis, a newly recognized pathway for cancer cell death... Accuronix develops novel therapies that selectively target cells and deliver cytotoxic payloads, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity risk.
