Casma Therapeutics Inc. has nominated its first development candidate, CSM-101, a first-in-class TRPML1 agonist. CSM-101 is being developed for the treatment of Gaucher’s disease patients with Parkinson’s disease, with the potential to expand into GBA-associated Parkinson’s disease and broader Parkinson’s disease populations.
Evotec International GmbH has divulged NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of asthma, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
Chronic pain is a constant challenge to around 20% of the global population, and treatments to mitigate such pain often cause unacceptable side effects because the receptors and signaling pathways involved in pain sensing also drive necessary processes in the heart, lungs and liver. Opioid analgesics can be effective against chronic pain, but they can lead to tolerance and addiction.
Sensorium Therapeutics Inc. has identified mesembrine analogues acting as serotonin transporter (SERT) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of neurological disorders.
Astrocytes are crucial for brain homeostasis and synaptic activity under healthy conditions, and are activated during neuroinflammation, neural damage and neurodegeneration, such as in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Astellas Engineered Small Molecules US Inc. has identified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, particularly PARP-1 (ARTD1), reported to be useful for the treatment of neuronal injury.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss and the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Despite significant research efforts, no existing treatment has proven effective enough to stop or reverse the progression of the disease.
Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc. has identified phosphodiesterase PDE1 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, Parkinson’s disease, cognitive disorders, narcolepsy, female sexual dysfunction, glaucoma, psychosis and traumatic brain injury, among other disorders.
