Chemical proteomics application patent granted
The European patent office has granted a patent entitled ?Proteome-wide quantification of small molecule binding to cellular target proteins? to German company, KINAXO Biotechnologies.
The European patent office has granted a patent entitled “Proteome-wide quantification of small molecule binding to cellular target proteins” to German company, KINAXO Biotechnologies.
“The granted patent emphasizes our leadership in providing chemical proteomics solutions for research and development,” says Henrik Daub, KINAXO’s CTO and main inventor of the patent. He says that the company delivers “powerful insights into cellular small molecule target interactions. Such knowledge significantly supports decision-making at various stages of the drug development process.”
The patent covers Cellular Target Profiling, KinAffinity and Epigenetics Target Profiling technologies. According to the company, Cellular Target Profiling enables comprehensive selectivity analysis and prediction of off-target liabilities for compounds with an unclear target spectrum. KinAffinity and Epigenetics Target Profiling are reported to deliver high quality, native selectivity data for kinase inhibitors or epigenetic drugs.
Patent applications in the United States and Japan are pending.

Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) and Direct Online Disruption of Lipid Nanoparticles
May 19th 2025Two proof-of-concept hydrophilic interaction chromatography HILIC) methods were developed in a joint study conducted by the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Sanofi, and the Waters Corporation—one for disrupting LNPs and retaining the mRNA, and another for detecting only unencapsulated mRNA to assess encapsulation efficiency. LCGC International spoke to Jonathan Maurer, first author of the paper that resulted from this study, about the methods and the efforts that led up to their development.
This article discusses how integrating seven prioritization strategies can enhance compound identification, support environmental risk assessment, and accelerate decision-making.
