Novartis AG has divulged pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives acting as methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2 inhibitors and thus reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.’s selective son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS-1) inhibitor SYH-2038 has received clearance by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to enter clinical trials in China.
Patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) are at high risk of developing end-stage renal disease, especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Since SET domain-containing 2 (SETD2) has been previously identified as an important tumor suppressor and an immunosuppressor in ccRCC, a recent study aimed to investigate the role of SETD2 in the progression of PKD into ccRCC.
Why cancer? The mechanisms that drive and maintain tumorigenesis are still a mystery. This is a play with different actors who have different roles in several contexts. One of these scenarios is represented by genetic and epigenetic conditions that determine the early trajectories of cancer cells. In addition, different mechanisms will control phenotypes and states that can take one or another direction toward cancer.
Treeline Biosciences Inc. has described proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands coupled to a Bcl-2-like protein 1 (Bcl-xL; Bcl-X; BCL2L1) targeting moiety via linker acting as Bcl-xL degradation inducers.
Revolution Medicines Inc. has divulged son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurofibromatosis type 1, cardiofaciocutaneous, Noonan, Costello and Legius syndrome (neurofibromatosis type 1-like syndrome), among others.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly metastatic and heterogeneous type of tumor, representing 15% of breast cancer cases. To tackle the drug-resistant phenotype of TNBC, effective targeted combinatorial approaches are urgently needed. Writing in EMBO Molecular Medicine journal, researchers from the Centre for Genomic Regulation and collaborators demonstrate that the simultaneous inhibition of lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) synergistically limits TNBC proliferation in vitro and in vivo.
Suzhou Puhe Biopharma Co. Ltd. has divulged protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ningbo Newbay Medical Technology Co. Ltd. has identified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
