A New Generation of Precision Medicines

Angis Bio uses biology to drive advanced computational design.

Angis Bio is developing a new era of precision medicines where “Biology drives Innovation.” Our “Small Format Proteins (SFPs)” and Small Format Antibodies (SFAs)” are therapeutics derived from our high diversity, randomized display libraries. Angis Bio has integrated computational and bioinformatic analysis to its biology-based drug discovery paradigm. The goal is to “accelerate” the time from discovery to moving its drug leads into formal preclinical development

what we do

Why Angis is Exceptional

Angis has an exquisite approach for analyzing protein:protein interactions and identifying the pharmacologically active sites on proteins called HotSpots.

The diversity, randomness and size of our display libraries give us a unique capability to differentiate only those HotSpots relevant to disease which allows us to rapidly develop and validate either agonist or antagonist drug leads for any disease target.

We integrate bioinformatic analysis into our drug discovery platform to identify novel targets as well to determine if a target is “druggable”. In addition, we use a computational approach to “improve” our therapeutic candidates and validate those leads which bind to critical HotSpots on the target. 

Finally, we can rapidly identify novel internalizing SFPs and SFAs which can be used to develop drug conjugates (SFDC: Small Format Drug Conjugates) for treating cancer and other disease indications

Precise & Versatile

Small Format Proteins (SFPs) and Antibodies (SFAs)

Angis Bio is developing target-specific SFPs and SFAs that are a diverse group of protein scaffolds characterized by small (2–15 kDa) size, stability and versatility for use as therapeutics in a variety of disease indications.

These leads are derived from high diversity display libraries. In the case of SFPs, the libraries consist of either 20 or 40 amino acids where the sequences are completely randomized to eliminate “bias”. SFAs are fully human single domain antibodies derived from germline heavy or light chains. Here, each of the CDRs are completely random and the framework derived from human germline genes. As a result, the antigen binding regions have sequences outside the normal human repertoire thereby expanding the number of target-specific binders.

Protein-Protein Interaction Hotspots

SFPs and SFAs define the critical Hotspots involved in protein-protein interactions

Differentiate Disease Hotspots

SFPs and SFAs can differentiate Hotspots relevant to disease

Target-Specificity

SFPs and SFAs show exquisite target-specificity and can distinguish a single amino acid change

Agonists or Antagonists​

SFPs and SFAs can have biological activity as agonists or antagonists

Unique Hotspot Approach

The Angis Bio Difference

Our combination of wet lab design and computational bioinformatics gives us an exquisite approach for analyzing protein:protein interactions to identify pharmacologically active sites on proteins or “HotSpots”.

Method for Rapid, Validated Drug Leads

Precise differentiation of those HotSpots relevant to disease and rapidly develop validated drug leads.
