ArQule Inc., is located at Woburn, MA and is a biotechnology company engaged in the research and development of cancer therapeutics.
Our mission is to research, develop, and commercialize broadly effective cancer drugs with reduced toxicities compared to conventional cancer chemotherapeutics. ArQule develops cancer therapies based on our innovative and proprietary Activated Checkpoint TherapySM (ACTSM) platform and other molecular biology platforms by leveraging automated chemistries and intelligent drug design.
The ACTSM platform is designed to produce small molecule compounds that selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. Based on the knowledge that cancer cells fail to adequately respond to cell damage, ACTSM is intended to restore and activate the proofreading mechanism by which cells respond to this damage, and consequently initiate apoptosis (cell suicide). Unlike conventional chemotherapy, ArQule’s ACTSM platform bypasses the need to create further damage to cells, by directly activating the cancer cell checkpoints. The intended result is a less toxic class of drugs that will be more effective across multiple cancer types than chemotherapy.
