Opko Health Inc. has recently presented data for their GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist OPK-88006, which is in preclinical development for the treatment of metabolic disease, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and obesity.
Though immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved the outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the response rates remain limited. At the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, researchers highlighted N-lysine methyltransferase SMYD2 as an oncogenic protein overexpressed in several tumor types.
In preclinical studies at Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd., researchers investigated the antiviral and immune-modulatory potential of HEC-191834, a novel and highly selective human Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) agonist, in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) models, as well as its activity when combined with siRNA.
Researchers from E-Therapeutics plc presented preclinical data for ETX-312, a GalNAc-conjugated short interfering RNA (siRNA), produced using the Galomic platform and being developed for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Researchers from Suzhou Siran Biotech Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of SA-1211, an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-conjugated siRNA dimer targeting both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and PD-L1 gene expression, being developed as a potential new therapeutic candidate for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Researchers from presented preclinical data for AVX-70371, a novel therapeutic vaccine being developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Recently presented preclinical data show that EA Pharma Co. Ltd.'s EA-3571 is a highly potent dual inhibitor of enteropeptidase and trypsin with luminal action, resulting in potential anti-insulin resistance and fat-burning properties.
The enzyme aminocarboxymuconate semialdehyde decarboxylase (ACMSD) is a regulator of de novo NAD+ synthesis and is reduced in patients with advanced liver disease.
