Neomorph Inc. has signed another billion-dollar deal to develop molecular glue degraders, this time with Abbvie Inc. It’s the third agreement in the past year the five-year-old company has signed with big pharma companies in a space with lots of collaborative deals.
Degron Therapeutics Inc. has entered into a collaboration and exclusive license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to discover and develop novel molecular glue degraders for multiple targets in oncology, neuroscience and inflammation.
Shanghai- and San Diego-based Degron Therapeutics Inc. secured a potential $1.2 billion deal with Tokyo-headquartered Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. May 23 for a multitarget collaboration and exclusive licensing agreement for molecular glue degraders. “It is a breakthrough technology in the small-molecule drug discovery field,” Degron CEO Lily Zou told BioWorld. “People talk about cell and gene therapy, but small molecules are still the mainstream of drug discovery, [with] more reach.”
