JNT-517
JNT-517 is Jnana Therapeutics' first-in-class cryptic allosteric SLC6A19 inhibitor to treat phenylketonuria (PKU). This is a notable case study employing a novel lead generation approach with photoaffinity probes, leading to a clinical candidate for a historically challenging-to-drug target class. Read the case study to learn how Jnana used their RAPID technology to quickly generate allosteric inhibitor hits, the SAR that led to the discovery of JNT-517, and why the molecule is notable.
"Compound 19"
“Compound 19” is a selective brain-penetrant inhibitor of the ceramide galactosyltransferase UGT8, intended for use in substrate reduction therapy for rare lysosomal storage disorders. The compound has good oral exposure in higher species (%F = 52 in dog) and is active in models looking at enzymatic activity using isotopically-labeled [...]
soticlestat
The Takeda cholesterol 24-hydroxylase inhibitor, soticlestat (TAK-935, previously OV935) is a potent, highly selective, first-in-class inhibitor of the brain-specific enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H). Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase converts cholesterol to 24S-hydroxycholesterol, which acts as a positive allosteric modulator of [...]

PTC258
An oral, brain-penetrant splicing modulator targeting ELP1. Incorrect splicing of the Elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1) gene causes Familial Dysautonomia (FD), a neurodegenerative disease that results in uncoordinated movement, blindness through retinal degeneration, and risk of unexplained sudden death, among other symptoms. A single T-to-C [...]
