Researchers from National Cheng Kung University and affiliated organizations have presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of novel pyrazole derivatives that inhibit the neutrophil signaling pathway, to be developed for the treatment of inflammation.
Just over a year since the last anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) antibody program was axed, the target is poised for a revival, with Levicept Ltd. announcing it has completed recruitment to a phase II trial of LEVI-04 in the control of chronic pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Researchers from Stanford University seek patent protection for an ultrasound-based device which converts electrical energy into acoustic energy to treat inflammatory disorders. The neuromodulator device targets the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP), which regulates the innate immune response to injury, pathogens, and tissue ischemia.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder where Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) are among the most relevant signaling pathways involved.
Researchers from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corp. and affiliated organizations have described the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel adiponectin receptor (AdipoR)-activating monoclonal antibody, named AdipoRaMab, being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) stimulates the release of cytokines and mediators that participate in tissue inflammation and acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes at the inflammation site.
Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activation is at the root of a wide number of conditions, from heart, gastrointestinal, kidney or liver disorders to neuroinflammatory diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis. Researchers from Nodthera Ltd. have reported on NT-0796, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with an in vivo brain penetration profile.
The Korean Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology has synthesized peptides reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
Anaptysbio Inc. has signed an exclusive license agreement for Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc’s blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA-2) modulator antibody portfolio, including lead asset CBS-004 (to be renamed ANB-101) and related family of backup antibodies, for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
