The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and a potential target for treating hepatic fibrosis. Several VDR agonists, classified as “secosteroidal” and “non-secosteroidal,” have been developed.
China Pharmaceutical University has divulged pyridoimidazole compounds acting as NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β (IL1B; IL-1β) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of atherosclerosis, diabetes, neurodegeneration, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney, inflammatory bowel, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), among others.
China Pharmaceutical University and Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have patented benzimidazole compounds acting as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 1 (ENPP1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, infections, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor, DDO-8926, being developed for the management of neuropathic pain.
Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University have disclosed the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a new receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) inhibitor, Zharp2-1, as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University and colleagues have provided details on the discovery and preclinical evaluation of [I], a novel stilbene derivative that showed antitumor activity.
Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University have reported the discovery of novel orally bioavailable fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitors as potential candidates for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Synthesis and optimization of a novel series of FLT3 inhibitors led to the identification of LT-540-717 as the lead candidate.
China Pharmaceutical University and Jiangsu Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. have jointly developed Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
China Pharmaceutical University has synthesized receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1; RIP-1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of ischemic stroke, among others.
Necroptosis is a well-controlled process of programmed necrosis present in inflammatory disorders mainly regulated by RIPK1, RIPK3 and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL).
