MSA-2 is an Orally Available STING Agonist with Anti-tumor Activity

Stimulator of interferons genes (STING) is an adaptor protein. It plays a critical role in the secretion of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to cytosolic nucleic acid. STING is also an endoplasmic reticulum-associated homodimeric protein. It is the receptor for cGAMP. The cGAMP is a second...

IACS-8803 is a Cyclic Dinucleotide STING Agonist

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is an innate pattern recognition receptor natively exists in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). STING has a great effect on host defense through supervising pathogenic or damage-associated nucleic acids. Since the generation of optimal adaptive anti-tumor immune responses requires the STING signal, activation of...
