CBL-B is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that acts as a negative regulator of T-cell activation, contributing to immune homeostasis by limiting excessive immune responses. In cancer, however, this inhibitory role can impair the immune system’s capacity to detect and eradicate tumor cells. Researchers from Genentech Inc. presented the design and optimization of a series of CBL-B-targeting molecular glues.
Beijing Earthwise Technology Co. Ltd. has described E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Aurigene Oncology Ltd. has identified compounds acting as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Aurigene Oncology Ltd. recently provided details on the discovery and preclinical characterization of AUR-243, a novel CBL-B inhibitor with a distinct therapeutic profile and best-in-class potential compared to other inhibitors. AUR-243 was described as a structurally distinct, oral small molecule demonstrating excellent potency, functional activity and superior efficacy.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer therapy by reversing tumor-induced immunosuppression, but they fail to work for many patients because of resistance. In addition, they can reactivate immune pathways only from outside immune cells.
Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has divulged E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease.
