Researchers from Wenzhou Medical University and affiliated organizations have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of novel anti-inflammatory compounds. Synthesis and optimization of a new series of 1-(4-(benzylsulfonyl)-2-nitrophenyl) derivatives resulted in the identification of compound [I] as the lead candidate.
UCB SA has identified imidazotriazine derivatives acting as IL-17 modulators reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers from Meiji Seika Pharma Co. Ltd. and affiliated organizations reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel PD-1 agonist antibody, HM-266, being developed for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune diseases.
Reservoir Neuroscience Inc. has disclosed prostaglandin E2 receptor EP2 subtype (PTGER2; EP2) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation.
University of Copenhagen has divulged 4-hydroxypyridine and 4-hydroxyquinoline derivatives acting as G-protein coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of fibrosis, diabetes, inflammatory and cognitive disorders.
Cantargia AB has completed a GLP toxicity study for its anti-inflammatory IL1RAP-binding antibody CAN-10, showing that CAN-10 was well tolerated when administered over 6 weeks.
Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has entered an option and research collaboration agreement with Monash University to discover and develop antibodies targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with the aim of creating novel therapeutics for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
An Icelandic genome-wide association study that linked variants in a gene which regulates retinoic acid synthesis to severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the hands, has led on to the discovery of an anti-inflammatory role for the vitamin A metabolite and pointed to a new class of potentially disease-modifying drugs. A proof-of-concept clinical trial of talarozole, a retinoic acid metabolism blocking agent, is now taking place to assess if increasing retinoic acid production suppresses inflammation in the joint tissues of patients with OA.
Blood vessels supplying adipose tissue in females and males differed in their biological characteristics and gene expression programs, researchers at York University in Toronto, Canada, have demonstrated. The findings, which will appear in the Jan. 20, 2023, print issue of Iscience after earlier publication online, give new insights into sex differences in metabolic health.
Fat tissue can be detrimental to health, but the relationship between fat, BMI and health is increasingly acknowledged as being highly complex. One factor that affects the relationship between fat and health is how well adipose tissue is vascularized. Any new tissue that forms in the body needs to be vascularized to ensure its blood supply, and fat is no exception.
