METTL1 inhibits tumour growth and reduces tRNA methylation and stability of tRNAs. It displayed high selectivity over other RNA and protein methyltransferases.
STC-15 is an oral small molecule that inhibits METTL3, an RNA methyltransferase implicated in oncology and other diseases. STC-15, also inhibits tumor growth through mechanisms like changes in interferon signaling and synergy with T cell checkpoint blockade.
An orally bioavailable, highly selective METTL3 inhibitor, STC-15 is the first molecule specifically targeting an RNA methyltransferase enzyme to enter clinical development.
The Innovate UK grant will allow STORM to develop a drug acting on a key coronavirus protein that is not targeted by current treatments. Generation of such a drug will provide a valuable option for treating Covid-19 and other coronavirus diseases.
The collaboration will focus initially on ADAR1, advancing early work by STORM applying its proprietary RNA epigenetic platform, as well as explore an additional undisclosed target.
STORM has identified novel, potent and selective first-in-class inhibitors of METTL3 that are orally bioavailable and show pronounced anti-tumour efficacy in animal models of AML, as well as solid tumours. This publication utilises STM2457, an earlier compound than STC-15.
STC-15 is an orally bioavailable, small molecule METTL3 inhibitor targeting an entirely new mechanism of action (modulation of RNA epigenetics) to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and other solid and haematological cancers.
