Researchers have identified NIMA-related kinase 1 (NEK1) as a potential therapeutic target driving tumor growth. It was identified using Turbine Ltd.’s Simulated Cell platform when they simulated perturbations in the DNA damage response pathways. NEK1 is involved in DNA damage response, cell cycle and mitosis.
Henan Medinno Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. has synthesized TGF-β receptor type-1 (TGFBR1; ALK5; SKR4; TβR-I) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, aging, arteriosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, Alzheimer’s disease, viral infections, osteoporosis and skin fibrosis, among others.
Curve Therapeutics Ltd. has closed a £40.5 million (US$51.4 million) series A financing, with the funds to be used to progress its lead assets into the clinic and to expand its drug discovery platform beyond challenging and complex intracellular protein targets.
Researchers from Compass Therapeutics Inc. reported on the preclinical characterization of CTX-8371, a bispecific tetravalent antibody that presented synergistic anti-PD-1/PD-L1 activity.
Kling Biotherapeutics BV has presented preclinical data on an antibody, KBA-1413, which recognizes a specific glycoform of CD43 that is shared among acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and solid tumor cells.
Zeno Management Inc. has identified antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting inactive tyrosine-protein kinase transmembrane receptor ROR1 (ROR1) covalently bound to exatecan derivatives through a linker.
Fochon Biosciences Ltd. has identified apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 (D103E mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer.
Researchers from Astrazeneca plc and affiliated organizations have described the discovery and preclinical evaluation of casitas B-lymphoma proto-oncogene-b (Cbl-b) inhibitors as novel anticancer candidates.
Abbvie Inc. and Tentarix Biotherapeutics Inc. have established a multiyear collaboration focused on the discovery and development of conditionally active, multispecific biologic candidates against one target in oncology and another in immunology.
