Making the undruggable druggable

Unlocking challenging drug targets for the development of next-generation therapeutics

Selected Collaborations

It all starts with the drug target.

The majority of drug targets are so-called membrane proteins, and these are inherently unstable and challenging to investigate. Or so they were, until now.

Our proprietary Salipro® technology stabilizes membrane proteins in their native forms, enabling them to be employed in drug discovery programs for therapeutic antibodies or small molecule drugs. Through our in-house and partnered pipelines, we drive the discovery of novel drugs.

Salipro® unlocks Structural Insights into Key Metabolic Transporter SLC33A1

2025-04-25
Great science enabled by Salipro®: A new study published in Cell Discovery, details the cryo-EM structure of the human acetyl-CoA transporter SLC33A1, offering mechanistic insights crucial for targeting diseases like neurodegeneration and cancer.

Understanding how SLC33A1 recognizes and transports its substrate is vital for developing novel therapeutics. With the Salipro® platform, the authors successfully stabilized human SLC33A1, enabling researchers to determine its 3.5 Å cryo-EM structure complexed with acetyl-CoA.

Key implications of this research:

  • Advances fundamental understanding of SLC33A1's vital physiological functions.

  • Provides a structural blueprint with significant potential to guide drug development for conditions including neurodegenerative disorders, aging-related diseases, and certain cancers.
