The Olivia Newton John Cancer Research Institute (ONJCRI, https://www.onjcri.org.au) and Sanoosa are pleased to announce their partnership on a new drug discovery program. Together, they will engage in the discovery and design of novel small molecules for inhibiting the binding of IL-11 to its receptor. With the vast know-how in computational discovery of Sanoosa and ONJCRI’s deep experience in cancer research and the combined experience of the teams in pre-clinical drug discovery and development, the partnership aims to bringing a novel small molecule to IND status.

Epichem (https://epichem.com.au) and Sanoosa team up against RAS-related Tumors. 


RAS is the most frequently mutated gene family in cancers, and investigators have sought an effective RAS inhibitor for more than three decades. RAS is mutated in a way that causes loss of its GTPase activity, thereby activating downstream effectors of RAS pathways. 

Novel, Small Molecule Therapeutic for Oncology.


Epichem, Australia’s premiere contract medicinal chemistry company has partnered with Sanoosa, a computational drug discovery company to develop a novel hit series active and selective in a KRAS synthetic lethal phenotypic screening module.

Peptris (https://peptris.com) and Sanoosa are pleased to announce their partnership on a new drug discovery program. Together, they will engage in the discovery and design of novel small molecule inhibitors for an undisclosed inflammation target. With the vast experience in computational discovery of Sanoosa and the novel AI platform of Peptris, pepAI, and the combined experience of the teams in pre-clinical drug discovery and development, the partnership is committed to bringing a novel small molecule to IND status in record time.


Mr. Venkatsubramanian Narayanan, CEO and Co-founder of Peptris said: "This is a unique collaboration that synergises two powerful computational approaches and aims to deliver a candidate drug in record time. This can pave the way for more partnerships leveraging the strengths of both teams to create novel therapies in the inflammation and oncology space”. 


Sanoosa’s founders Dr. Wolfgang Kissel and Dr. Herbert Treutlein commented: “We are looking forward to working with Peptris on this exciting project. Complementing each other’s strengths is core to our strategy and will show that small companies can achieve big things. Our joint focus on the crossroads of Inflammation and Cancer enables us to contribute to therapies that are most needed.”

Sanoosa will be present at the Bio 2020 International Convention in San Diego, CA, on June 8-12, 2020.  Because of the COVID-19 pandemic the convention is held in digital form and is renamed BIO Digital. Sanoosa’s proprietary small molecule drug discovery & design platform creates significant productivity gains in early drug discovery. Our technology comprises agile process structures and is focused on difficult to drug disease targets, like protein-protein interactions and protein surfaces. Sanoosa’s Founders will meet interested partners and potential collaborators at several one-on-one online meetings.

15 April 2020

Sanoosa will be present at the COVID-19 Virtual Partnering Event on May 4-6, 2020. Sanoosa’s proprietary small molecule drug discovery & design platform creates significant productivity gains in early drug discovery. Our technology comprises agile process structures and is focused on difficult to drug disease targets, like protein-protein interactions and protein surfaces.


With the increasing emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic we are obliged to contribute with our work to find novel solutions to fight this virus and the disease. With our in-silico platform we can find novel small molecules that aim at preventing virus infection and that keep the virus related diseases in check. Our experience in protein-protein interaction inhibition can be fully applied to block Sars-CoV-2 to interact with human host cells and for inhibiting the strong inflammatory reactions in various stages of the disease.  


We  seek to partner with companies where both parties complement their capabilities to generate novel small molecule inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2. In a joint project we can further design the molecules to enter pre-clinical / clinical studies. Sanoosa’s Founders will meet interested partners and potential collaborators at several one-on-one online meetings.
