Monopar Therapeutics Inc. has received Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) clearance in Australia to initiate a phase I therapeutic trial of its novel radiopharmaceutical MNPR-101-Lu. MNPR-101-Lu combines the therapeutic radioisotope lutetium-177 (Lu-177) with Monopar’s proprietary first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody MNPR-101, which is highly selective against the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR).
Cycloicaritin (CICT) is a bioactive natural flavonoid extracted from Epimedium species with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial or antiproliferative effects but with low bioavailability.
Enliven Therapeutics Inc. has divulged Raf kinase inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer. An exemplified compound (Ex 5 [isomer B] pg 130) inhibited ERK phosphorylation in human melanoma A-375 cells (IC50=12.4 nM) in ELISA assays.
Resistance to radiotherapy is a crucial factor in the outcome of colorectal cancer (CRC). The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a key role in cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and immune function.
In a presentation at the American Chemical Society meeting, Halda Therapeutics Inc. described its androgen receptor (AR)-targeting RIPTAC (regulated induced proximity targeting chimera) therapeutics as a new class of heterofunctional small molecules designed to selectively kill cancer cells that express tumor-specific targeting protein (TIP) into a stable intracellular ternary complex with a protein essential for cell survival for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is rated as the second most deadly cancer after lung cancer. Identifying new mechanisms responsible for CRC pathogenesis is crucial for the development of new therapies.
Both casein kinase 1α (CK1α) and zinc finger protein Helios (IKZF2) are among the targets most recently evaluated for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A growing number of molecules against these targets acting as degraders or inhibitors are actively being investigated.
