Researchers at Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and University of British Columbia have identified radiolabeled compounds targeting glutamate carboxypeptidase II (NAALADase; NAAG peptidase, FOLH1; PSMA) acting as positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging agents with low uptake in salivary glands and kidneys reported to be useful for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Kyung Hee University has disclosed microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitors acting as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, pain, osteoporosis, bursitis, infections and cancer.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has released a guidance to aid patent examiners in dealing with questions of obviousness in patent applications, but patent attorney Michael Borella told BioWorld that this new guidance could resurrect the law of unintended consequences. Borella, a partner in the Chicago office of McDonnell Boehnen Hulburt & Berghoff LLP, said the guidance might lead to more inappropriate rejections of patent claims for obviousness, and thus make the process of obtaining a clean patent more difficult, not less.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Heptares Therapeutics Ltd. has divulged pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide derivatives and morpholine-3-carboxamide derivatives acting as prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype (PTGER4; EP4) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University and The Lieber Institute for Brain Development have identified peripherally restricted GABA(A) receptor subunits α3β2γ2S (GABRA3) positive allosteric modulators reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, lactose intolerance and abdominal pain.
Arvinas Operations Inc. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety covalently linked to a non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2-targeting moiety via linker.
Iambic Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed quinazoline compounds acting as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, particularly CDK2 and/or CDK4 and/or CDK6 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of ovarian and breast cancer.
In what represents its first patenting, San Diego-based Intrigue Health Inc. seeks protection for a diagnostic kit that its inventors say will bring clinical laboratory quality testing directly into the home and to non-health care facilities. They say their invention will enable consumers to move from symptom to treatment in hours from the convenience of where they are, which will lead to better health outcomes and much happier consumers.
