Camptothecin derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer have been disclosed in a recent Genescience Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. patent.
Hainan Simcere Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has prepared bicyclic compounds acting as fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Insilico Medicine Inc. has identified compounds acting as tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2; TCPTP) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and metabolic disease.
Oncozen Co. Ltd. has patented new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) binding moiety covalently bound to hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR; MET) targeting moiety through a linker.
Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from chromaffin cells chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia, respectively.
Chemotherapy usually induces cachectic muscle loss through different mechanisms. Among these, oxidative stress is known to decrease protein synthesis and increase proteolysis leading to muscle atrophy.
Medannex Ltd. has been awarded an Innovate UK grant to fund a £313,000 (US$403,000) project developing a new treatment for pediatric osteosarcoma. Innovate UK will fund £231,000 (US$297,000) of the project costs, with the remainder financed by Medannex.
Researchers from Shuttle Pharmaceuticals LLC and Georgetown University have described the in vitro and in vivo profile of SP-1-303, designed as a dual-function histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) activator, in breast cancer models.
Not all cancer cells that detach from the primary tumor and embark on a journey to another organ colonize it. To establish themselves, cells need specific conditions. Scientists at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) explored this hypothesis in the liver and identified a protein involved in metastatic transformation. Blocking it prevented liver metastasis. Their findings may have applications in other organs and various types of cancers.
