Research at Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) has led to the identification of pyrazolopyrimidine-containing compounds acting as dual specificity protein kinase TTK (MPS1; MPS1L1) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
858 Therapeutics Inc. has patented a series of 6,6-fused heterocyclic compounds acting as N6-adenosine-methyltransferase catalytic subunit (METTL3) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
Researchers from OSE Immunotherapeutics SA have published preclinical data for the novel anti-ChemR23 monoclonal antibody (MAb) (OSE-230) with anti-inflammatory properties, being evaluated for the potential treatment of cancer.
The non-receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) Src is the first oncogene ever identified. In tumors, Src hyperactivation is usually linked to the aberrant activation of upstream receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). In previous work, researchers from IRCCS-Fondazione Santa Lucia and collaborators developed a library of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines inhibiting Src and other cytoplasmic TKs. Several compounds showed in vitro and in vivo activity in tumor models characterized by a deregulation of those kinases, such as osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma.
Teleflex Inc.’s agreement to acquire Palette Life Sciences AB for up to $650 million to boost its urology portfolio continues the company’s strategy of acquiring assets that are accretive to its growth rate. Palette has developed a number of urology products, key among them the Barrigel, a non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) spacer that reduces radiation delivered to the rectum during prostate cancer radiation therapy. With radiation treatment trends increasing, the market for Barrigel is expected to grow.
Beigene Co. Ltd. has divulged antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) comprising HER3 (erbB3) targeting antibody linked to an effector molecule through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration and inflammation.
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) represents 35% to 40% of all lung cancers, making it the most common non-small-cell lung cancer in the U.S. Despite continual treatment advances, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Accordingly, there is an ongoing urgent need to identify targets and associated therapeutics.
Researchers from Kunming University of Science and Technology and affiliated organizations presented discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel salinomycin derivative, SAL-98, as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of cancer.
