Alchemedicine Inc. has prepared and tested new angiotensin AT1 receptor (AGTR1) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, hypertension, glaucoma and renal disorders.
Case Western Reserve University has patented conjugates consisting of a PSMA-targeting moiety covalently linked to a chelating agent comprising metals.
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an almost universally fatal brain pediatric tumor and the only tumor indication where palliative radiotherapy is the current standard of care. Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy may hold promise for treating DIPG, the elevated tumor heterogeneity and the prospect of antigen escape make the identification of additional targets crucial. Therefore, multiple targets need to be validated to facilitate a multipronged approach.
Researchers from Zhejiang University and Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported the discovery of new phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.
