Research Progress

Development roadmap from synthesis to biological validation

Phase I: Synthesis
Linker Synthesis
  • Engineered cleavable Val-Cit/Val-Ala linker
  • Activated via NHS/Carbonate chemistry
  • Conjugated to TMP778 analog
  • Purified via HPLC & SEC
Phase II: Characterization
Structural Analysis
  • Validated via ¹H-NMR and FT-IR
  • Confirmed purity via LC-MS/HRMS
  • Verified correct molecular mass
  • Confirmed structural integrity
Phase III: Evaluation (Planned)
Antibody Conjugation
  • Incubate in PBS, serum & enzymes
  • Complete conjugation to antibody
  • Confirm intracellular release via Cathepsin B digestion
Phase IV: Biologicals (Planned)
Biological Assays
  • Conjugate via Maleimide–Thiol
  • Evaluate RORγt inhibition
  • Assays: FRET, Nuclear Receptor, & IL-17F Promoter
