Welcome to JE PolyDesign
Our Vision
The vision for JE PolyDesign is to provide chemical tools to help making oncology therapeutics more efficient and accessible for everyone.
The HEMI-Link™-Technology Platform
JE PolyDesign provide new and enabling maleimide-linker chemistry, i.e., the HEMI-Link™-Technology platform, to meet current challenges regarding the development of next generation "Antibody-Drug Conjugates" (ADC's), applicable for oncology therapeutics.
Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) Chemistry
ADC chemistry is one of the fastest growing research areas for selective treatment of cancer. The market value by 2022 is estimated to reach $18 Billion. Chemistry challenges and limitations for faster advancement of this research, and for the development of the final pharmaceuticals, are:
-
Limited molecular design flexibility
-
Availability and purity of raw materials
-
Chemical complexity
-
Access to variable and controllable linker chemistry
The HEMI-Link™-Technology platform addresses the challenges listed above based on new and enabling maleimide-linker chemistry. Specifically, design of the R-group in the chemical ADC structure as shown below is one key target to reach success:
Our maleimide-linker platform is more flexible and simple than existing choices, and we aim to create opportunity to design novel ADC's with characteristics and properties controllable by R, such as:
-
Controlled drug release
-
Limit/eliminate deconjugation leading to off-target toxicity
-
Hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity
-
Solubility and pH-stability
Collaborative partnerships are essential for success in this complicated field of science, and we are actively exploring such opportunities.
