Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH’s start to the new year includes two fresh deals across two continents. BI struck one deal with Kunshan, China-based Suzhou Ribo Life Science Co. Ltd. and its Mölndal, Sweden-based subsidiary, Ribocure Pharmaceuticals AB, to develop small interfering RNA (siRNA) treatments for nonalcoholic or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. It struck a second deal with San Francisco-based 3T Biosciences Inc. to develop cancer immunotherapies, which builds on an earlier collaboration formed last year. Combined, the two deals are worth more than $2.5 billion.
Patients with celiac disease have gluten-specific CD4+ T cells that recognize gluten via disease-associated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, specifically HLA-DQ2.5, leading to immune activation and enteropathy.
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG has identified 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13; 17-β-HSD 13) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Kymera Therapeutics Inc. has unveiled two new first-in-class oral degrader programs for immune-mediated diseases: KT-621, a STAT6 degrader, and KT-294, a TYK2 degrader.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, most commonly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has a prevalence of about 30% in the general population and about 80% in people with obesity. It is characterized by steatosis and metabolic dysfunction, with inflammation and fibrogenesis.

Suzhou Ribo Life Science Co. Ltd. and Ribocure AB have entered into a collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG to develop novel treatments for nonalcoholic or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH).
Recent studies have identified 70 oxygenized phosphatidylcholine (PC)-containing epoxy and hydroperoxide groups that are generated in the early phase of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury. In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo focused on arachidonate PC and assessed the role of liver-specific LPCAT3 (lysophospholipid acyltransferase 3) on APAP-induced acute liver injury in mice.
