Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University, Southern Medical University and Gannan Medical University reported the discovery of novel quinazoline-based KRAS G12C inhibitors as potential anticancer agents.
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of several subunits, such as EZH2, EED and SUZ12, and is a regulator of cell proliferation and development. Targeting the allosteric subunit EED may be a new approach for fully inhibiting PRC2 complex activity and addressing the limitations of EZH2 inhibition.
GPC3 is an oncofetal antigen highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but minimally expressed in adult normal tissues, except the placenta. Cytovia Therapeutics Inc. has presented preclinical data on CYT-303, a bispecific natural killer (NK) engager targeting NK cell-activating receptor NKp46 and GPC3 expressed in tumor cells.
Researchers from Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH have developed bispecific T-cell engaging receptor (TCER) molecules consisting of an affinity maturated TCR, a humanized T cell-recruiting antibody and an Fc-part conferring half-life extension and favorable stability characteristics.
Arginases play key roles in metabolic pathways. Arginase 1 (ARG1) is expressed by myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment and suppresses the functioning of T and NK cells.
Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret is a widely expressed oncogene and chromosomal rearrangements involving RET lead to fusion genes and RET kinase activation, which occur in lung cancer in about in 2% of cases of non-small cell lung cancer.
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co KG has presented data on the identification of several potent and selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of HER2 that are highly active against its oncogenic exon 20 YVMA insertion mutant (HER2 YVMA), which is the most prevalent HER2 exon 20 mutation in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
