Ming Bo Huang, MD; CRO
Technology:
• Mortalin/HSPA9 and DnaK (HSP70) antagonists for the treatment of cancer,
inflammation, and infections.
Issued Patents:
• US 8,431,530; US 8,476,237; US 8,551,943; US 8,563,506; US 8,669,226; EP
2440570, DE602010009528.2.
Patent Applications:
• US 13/267,977; US 13/327,244; CA 2,761,121; JP 2012-514976; CN 201080025184.7;
HK 12108236.3; IN 8365/CHENP/2011; PCT US2011/055219, and PCT/US11/065137.
Applications:
• A dominant and expanding patent position for the composition and use of SMR (&
derivatives).
• Treatment of cancer, viral infected, and inflammatory cells that over-express mortalin.
• Treatment of antibiotic resident bacteria that express DnaK.
Value Proposition:
• Demonstrated efficacy i) mortalin-SMR binding; ii) reduction in exosome secretion; iii)
induction of cancer cell, but not “normal” cell death, iv) reduction in HIV particle
secretion; and v) bacterial growth inhibition.

SMRwt has no toxic
effect on target cells
growth.
Summary
Nef (Negative Regulatory Factor) is a protein expressed by primate lentiviruses
and a virulence factor able to manipulate host cell machinery. Regions
interact with multiple host factors including CXCR4. We identified the SMR
as a virus-ended secretion modification region that inhibits an intracellular
target HSP 70 family member called mortalin (HSPA9, glucose-regulated
protein 75 [GRP75], and peptide-binding protein protein 74 [PBP74]).
Mortalin plays an important role in cell proliferation. The SMR peptide,
developed by our group, binds with pM affinity to mortalin, and nM affinity to
bacteria DnaK acting as an antagonist. It has little toxic effect on target
cells. MSM was the first to demonstrate efficacy of HIV-1 derived peptides
as therapeutics for cancer, viral replication, inflammation and bacterial
infection.
