Medshine Discovery Inc. has synthesized dual N-(2-aminophenyl)benzamide compounds acting as lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hookipa Pharma Inc. has achieved a US$10 million milestone payment under its collaboration agreement with Roche (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.) to develop HB-700, a novel arenaviral immunotherapy for KRAS-mutated cancers.
Legochem Biosciences Inc. has entered into a license agreement with Elthera AG to develop and commercialize a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy using a monoclonal antibody developed by Elthera.
Hillstream Biopharma Inc. has announced initial results evaluating the synergy of ferroptosis inducer HSB-1216 (quatramer salinomycin) with anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab in the Calu-1 KRAS G12C-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line.
Researchers from The Salk Institute have described a signaling pathway that sets off an unusual, autophagy-dependent cell death mechanism as a fail-safe for cells that have evaded senescence mechanisms. The scientists found a tumor suppression mechanism mediated by telomere signaling, which activated an innate immune response through mitochondrial and telomere complexes to eliminate cells with shortened telomeres.
Leveraging ferroptosis, or iron-mediated cell death, Hillstream Biopharma Inc. has turned up intriguing early stage data in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when the company’s candidate called HSB-1216 was paired with the anti-PD-1 antibody Keytruda (pembrolizumab, Merck & Co. Inc.).
South Korea’s GI Innovation Inc. announced its IPO on the Kosdaq market with plans to raise up to $34 million in March 2023. Funds raised from the IPO will go toward phase I/II clinical trials of immunotherapy agent GI-101 in the U.S. and Korea, and a phase I trial of allergy treatment GI-301 (also known as YH-35324) in Korea.
Gluetacs Therapeutics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has described proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, anemia, transplant rejection, neurodegeneration, infections, autoimmune, inflammatory and metabolic disorders.
The University of Hong Kong has identified reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive prodrugs reported to be useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and hypertension.
Nido Biosciences Inc. has synthesized bicyclic compounds acting as selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) reported to be useful for the treatment of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, neurodegeneration and cancer.
