Cogent Biosciences Inc. has described compounds acting as fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of achondroplasia, cancer, craniosynostosis, Alzheimer’s disease, fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, systemic scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) and thanatophoric dysplasia, among others.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has identified tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2; TCPTP) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and metabolic diseases.
Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described transcriptional coactivator YAP1/transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
The treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has made progress due to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), but still many patients present innate or acquired resistance to ICIs, thus there is a need for the discovery of new therapeutic approaches for HCC treatment. Epigenetic alterations play a key role in liver cancer, so that they can suppress the expression of proteins involved in triggering the immune response against tumors. Spanish researchers have now identified a promising target for liver HCC treatment, named histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EHMT2, also known as protein G9a.
Adcentrx Therapeutics Inc. and Adcentrx Therapeutics Shanghai Co. Ltd. have disclosed antibody-drug conjugates comprising a monoclonal antibody covalently bound to a cytotoxic drug through a linker.
