TNIK BD materials — archived / superseded

⚠️ Superseded. The TNIK program is deprioritized/paused and the candidate these materials centred on (MF-TNIK-6f036c) was dropped at the synthesis stage. The documents below are retained as exploratory history only — they are not active licensing offers and this compound is not a licensable lead. The original MF-TNIK-6f036c PPTX deck has been removed from this page (it is a binary that still contains superseded claims and cannot be corrected inline).

Status

Pre-submission draft. R1 wet-lab results have returned: three TYK2 candidates measured at ~2 nM potency, confirming binding to the JAK family. Note that our historical “TYK2” data was seeded from CHEMBL2148, which corresponds to JAK3 (real TYK2 = CHEMBL3553); the R1 hits are validated JAK-family / pan-JAK binders that cross-bind TYK2, and TYK2-selectivity is not yet proven. The R1 mechanism observed was ATP-competitive (JH1 catalytic site), not allosteric JH2. Conformal recalibration on the small (n=3) R1 set is provisional. Numbers in the archived draft docs predate these corrections.
