Enlaza Therapeutics is pioneering the field of covalent biologics, developing a novel classes of protein therapeutics based on its proprietary War-Lock™ platform.
Standard protein therapeutics bind only reversibly to their targets, requiring long-lasting or continuous dosing that causes sustained exposure to healthy tissue, limiting efficacy and causing toxicity.
Enlaza develops covalent protein biologics, called War-Lock therapeutics, engineered to irreversibly and selectively lock onto disease-related targets.
Its platform is built on a proprietary unnatural amino acid that enables covalent bond formation only upon target engagement, staying inert while circulating, and can reportedly be incorporated into virtually any protein drug format.
San Diego-based Enlaza Therapeutics raised a $100M Series A led by the Life Sciences group of J.P. Morgan Private Capital, with backing from Amgen Ventures and Regeneron.
