Invictus Oncology Announces Two Posters to be Presented Describing its Platform Technology on Supramolecular Therapeutics at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, 2015

NEW DELHI, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

- Development of a Novel Taxane and a PI3K Targeting Supramolecular Therapeutic Using the VOLVOX Platform - To be Presented on Tuesday, Apr 21, 8:00 AM EST

- Supramolecular Assembly of Antibody-drug Conjugates Using an anti-HER2 Monoclonal Antibody and Camptothecin as Cytotoxic Payload - Presented on Sunday, Apr 19, 1:00 PM EST

Invictus Oncology Private Limited, a leader in supramolecular therapeutic program, today announced that the company's novel computational platform technology (VOLVOX) for designing anti-cancer supramolecular therapeutics, and the CORDLink technology platform for designing Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting being held in Philadelphia, PA, April 18-22.

Supramolecular therapeutics are next generation treatments for cancer that enhance anti-tumor efficacy with improved side-effect profiles. The VOLVOX platform merges big data modeling with drug design in silico to predict the optimal supramolecular structures.

In another approach, a unique linker (CORDLink) platform technology based on a novel coordination linker chemistry has been successfully used to generate supramolecular assembly of antibody-drug conjugates maintaining the integrity of the antibody without impacting binding to the target. ADCs allow the specific delivery of the anti-cancer payload to the tumor.
