Development of Novel STING Agonists as Vaccine Adjuvants

Inimmune, a leading biotech company focused on the development of novel vaccine adjuvants, immunotherapies, and delivery systems, announced today that its Investigator, Omer Rasheed, Ph.D., will participate and present a poster (P087) at the upcoming ACSMEDI-EFMC Medicinal Chemistry Frontiers 2023 in Boston entitled “Development of Novel STING Agonists as Vaccine Adjuvants” on Sunday, June 11 from 04:45- 06:00pm.

Stimulator of Interferon genes (STING) plays a central role in shaping both the innate and the adaptive immune response to microbial pathogens primarily by inducing the production of type I interferons (IFNs). STING-mediated processes therefore promote both antibody and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immune responses against targeted antigens. Importantly, pharmacologic activation of STING-dependent phenotypes can be employed to greatly enhance vaccine-associated protective immunogenicity against viral, bacterial, and protozoal pathogens. These qualities have raised our interest in developing small molecule agonists of the STING pathway that can be used as adjuvants with protein-based vaccines.

Dr. Rasheed will be presenting the recent discovery of a novel series of non-nucleotide STING agonists that can be developed into adjuvants for vaccines against Zika and Chikungunya viruses. Dr. Rasheed’s poster can be viewed by clicking here.

EFMC-ACS Chemistry Frontiers 2023 is a 4-day international symposium devoted to the latest advances in drug discovery and development, medicinal and synthetic chemistry.

Cancer Immunotherapy

Inimmune is advancing a novel TLR7/8 agonist nanoparticle formulation to the clinic to treat cancer by harnessing the patient’s immune system and synergizing with existing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies. Further, we’re leveraging our expertise in innate immune activation to develop novel compounds and technology to target other immune receptors to develop the next generation of disruptive therapies in oncology.

Adjuvants

Our lead vaccine adjuvants target innate immune receptors TLR4, TLR7/8, and Mincle and are focused on generating Th1 and Th17 responses. We are also working on discovery of new adjuvants that target STING as well as inflammasome-activating adjuvants.

Infectious Disease

Inimmune is at the forefront of infectious disease prevention and treatment through the development of cutting edge vaccines and antibiotics.

Allergy

At Inimmune, we’re developing a rapid disease modifying treatment which does not require identification of the allergen. INI-2004 is an allergen agnostic immunotherapy that reprograms the allergic immune response, desensitizing the patient against allergens of concern.

Autoimmunity

Inimmune is developing technology that turns off signaling from specific receptors that are involved in the development and maintenance of autoimmune disease.

Vaccines

To combat the opioid epidemic and the growing problem of drug resistant bacteria Inimmune is developing novel vaccines adjuvanted with our proprietary innate immune stimulators.
