A team at 1st Bio Therapeutics Inc. has identified indazoles acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Previous research has validated hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) as a target in immune oncology, and pharmacological inhibition of HPK1 has been shown to enhance effector T-cell function and antitumor activity.
Silexon Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd. has synthesized heterocyclic compounds acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and viral infections.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has identified mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Research at Genfleet Therapeutics Inc. has led to the development of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is a serine/threonine kinase restricted to the hematopoietic compartment that plays a crucial role in cellular proliferation, apoptosis and modulation of the antitumor immune response. In mice, HPK1 deficiency is associated with enhanced immune response, and thus, HPK1 is considered a novel target for cancer immunotherapy.
