Poseidon Innovation LLC and the University of California have patented bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BD2 domain) (BRD4 BD2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, viral infections and acute renal disorders, among others.
University of Maryland has presented proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprised of E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety covalently linked to induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1-binding moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Avelos Therapeutics Inc. has identified substituted 1,2-diaminoheterocyclic compound derivatives acting as serine/threonine-protein kinase greatwall (MASTL) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, obesity, stroke, thrombosis deep venous, thrombocytopenia and cardiovascular disorders.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has divulged pyrrolopyridines acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) is a tumor-associated receptor that is highly expressed in multiple myeloma (MM) and is a potential target for therapy in MM. Preclinical data have been presented for FT-555, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CAR-NK (CAR-iNK) cell product that exerts dual targeting on GPRC5D and CD38 in combination with daratumumab.
Peptide-drug conjugates are an emerging class of molecules that allow efficient targeted drug delivery into tumors. Researchers from Oncopeptides AB and their collaborators presented data on the novel peptide-drug conjugate OPDC3, which has a novel alkylating payload, in models of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Hotspot Therapeutics Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for HST-1011, the company's investigational small-molecule allosteric inhibitor of casitas B-lineage lymphoma-B (CBL-B), an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase critically involved in immune cell response.
Immunotherapy company Cartherics Pty Ltd. is leading a consortium that received a AU$5.4 million (US$3.6 million) grant from the Medical Research Futures Fund to develop a new approach to enhance cancer therapy by engaging the patient’s own immune system to complement CAR cell therapy.
Jiangsu Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has described proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising of E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon (CRBN) binding moiety covalently linked to a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) binding moiety through a linker. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) originate from a clonal expansion of B cells (85%), T cells/NK cells (15%) or macrophages (~1%) due to an accumulation of genetic lesions in tumor suppressor genes. Approximately 82,000 new cases of NHL were diagnosed in 2021.
