Atavistik Bio Inc. has nominated an orally bioavailable selective allosteric AKT1 E17K inhibitor, ATV-1601, as a development candidate for AKT1 E17K-driven cancers.
Molecure SA has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Ocean Biomedical Inc. for the development and commercialization of a selective YKL-40 inhibitor program, including the lead molecule OAT-3912.
In a recent presentation, researchers from the Medical University of Lodz have aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of simultaneously targeting axin and cannabinoid receptors (CBs) with KYA-1797K and WIN-55212-2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines SW480 and Caco-2.
In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have had great success in the treatment of advanced cancers, but often, they are only effective in a minority of patients. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the activation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in combination with standard immune checkpoint inhibitors resulted in enhanced antitumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo.
Shanghai Helioson Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has identified molecular glue degraders acting as DNA-binding protein Ikaros (IKZF1) and/or zinc finger protein Aiolos (IKZF3) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
Westlake Therapeutics (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd. and affiliated organizations have reported the design and preclinical characterization of novel erythrocytes conjugated to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (MHC-I) protein, being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Nanjing Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase (WRN; RECQ3; RECQL2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Nanjing Mingde New Drug Research Co. Ltd. has designed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant)-targeting moiety via a linker for the treatment of cancer.
Scientists at Oncopia Therapeutics Inc. (dba SK Life Science Labs) and The University of Michigan have synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to a probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α) and transcription activator BRG1 (SMARCA4; BAF190A; SNF2-β)-targeting agent through a linker.
