The vast variety of tumors makes each cancer a world. For researchers, understanding the commonalities and divergences in their molecular underpinnings could help find successful treatments. Scientists from the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) have addressed these similarities and differences in 10 different types of cancer with two proteogenomic studies to unravel the genes that lead to cancer and the galaxy of interactions that regulate them.
Jiangsu Tasly Diyi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation, infection, cancer, and autoimmune disease.
Etern Biopharma (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has divulged transcriptional coactivator YAP1 and TAZ/transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ideaya Biosciences Inc. has announced FDA clearance of an IND for a GSK-sponsored phase I/II trial of GSK-101 (IDE-705), a small-molecule inhibitor of Polϴ helicase, in combination with GSK's PARP inhibitor niraparib tosylate monohydrate for the treatment of tumors with BRCA or other homologous recombination mutations or homologous recombination deficiency.
As a cytokine used in the field of immuno-oncology, interleukin-2 (IL-2) can produce durable and even complete responses in some patients, as well as induce immune memory against tumors. However, its rapid metabolism within the body means it has a short serum half-life, so it needs to be given in high doses, which can trigger severe side effects.
Redx Pharma plc has identified Rho kinase 1 (ROCK 1; p160-ROCK) and/or rho kinase 2 (ROCK 2; ROCKα) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibrosis, autoimmune, inflammatory and neurological disorders.
Silexon Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd. has synthesized heterocyclic compounds acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and viral infections.
Shanghai Haihe Biopharma Co. Ltd. has disclosed phosphonic acid derivatives and their prodrugs reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and infections.
