Researchers from Suzhou Siran Biotech Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of SA-1211, an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-conjugated siRNA dimer targeting both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and PD-L1 gene expression, being developed as a potential new therapeutic candidate for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Clostridioides difficile is a gram-positive bacteria that causes disease in persons with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and has been listed as an urgent threat due to the emergence of resistance.
Researchers from presented preclinical data for AVX-70371, a novel therapeutic vaccine being developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Researchers from the University of Washington are developing new antibiotics targeting bacterial methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS). This enzyme is responsible for charging tRNA(met) with methionine and integral to protein synthesis.
Researchers from Emory University, the U.S. CDC and collaborators have identified a broad-spectrum antiviral agent able to combat highly pathogenic arenaviruses. The compound, a ribonucleoside analogue that acts through RdRp inhibition, exhibited a good pharmacokinetic profile, oral bioavailability and tissue distribution in guinea pigs, while protecting animals from lethal challenges with Lassa and Junín viruses, even at very low doses.
Nimbus Saturn Inc. has identified proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1)-targeting moiety linked via a linker.
