Biotheryx Inc. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) targeting moiety reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Bisichem Co. Ltd. has disclosed receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1; RIP-1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Mindrank Ltd. has announced that the FDA has cleared the company’s IND application for MRANK-106, a potentially first-in-class, orally available dual inhibitor of WEE1 and YES1 kinases, for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, small-cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to overcome drug resistance and ensure prolonged remission in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. The coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is overexpressed in MM and correlated with poor prognosis and, therefore, has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target.
The TNF receptor superfamily member herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM or TNFRSF14), first identified as a receptor for viral infection, acts as a molecular switch, either activating or inhibiting the immune response depending on the interacting ligand. Previous work found that HVEM binding to B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) initiates an inhibitory signal to effector T cells and that targeting the HVEM-BTLA complex with an antibody reduced tumor growth in a humanized mouse model.
The disclosure of a new candidate by Dewpoint Therapeutics Inc. was the latest in the percolating beta-catenin/Wnt space, where a handful of firms have been making progress.
With more than three weeks left in the first quarter, the value of med-tech IPOs for 2025 already exceeds the funds raised from all IPOs for med-tech companies in the last two years combined. Kestra Medical Technologies Ltd. provides a clear example of how fast the market is heating up, with a final IPO that raked in more than twice as much as initially expected, while Advanced Biomed Inc. shows the appeal of the U.S. exchanges for non-U.S. companies.
