Researchers from Umoja Biopharma Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of UB-VV200, a third-generation lentiviral vector containing a multi-domain fusion (MDF) protein consisting of a T cell-targeting anti-CD3 scFv and costimulatory proteins.
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis whose endogenous ligands are highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment of aggressive tumors.
Oncopia Therapeutics Inc. (dba Proteovant Therapeutics Inc.) and the University of Michigan have jointly patented molecular glue degraders targeting cereblon (CRBN) and acting as zinc finger protein Helios (IKZF2) degradation inducers.
Eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducers have been reported in a Bristol Myers Squibb Co. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Ambrx Inc. and Novocodex Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for ARX-305, a next-generation anti-CD70 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), being developed for the treatment of CD70-expressing cancers.
Abbisko Therapeutics Co. Ltd. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for ABSK-012, a highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), for advanced solid tumors.
Acetylenic lipids extracted from plants or marine sponges are known to have relevant cytotoxicity against tumoral cells. Previous work has shown that structural modifications to lipidic alkynylcarbinol (LAC) underpin specific changes in its cytotoxic activity.
