Shanghai Visonpharma Co. Ltd. has identified pyridine[4,3-d]pyrimidine compounds acting as Toll-Like receptor 7 (TLR7) and TLR8 agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and viral infection.
Nanjing Zenshine Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has disclosed fused heterocyclic compounds acting as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) (H1047R mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Actinium-226 (226Ac) has been previously proposed as a potential surrogate isotope for the development of 225Ac radiopharmaceuticals for targeted alpha therapy (TAT). The benefits of 226Ac include its theoretically superior therapeutic potency as well as a short half-life of its progeny, expected to minimize the toxicities. Researchers from TRIUMF, University of British Columbia and affiliated organizations recently reported the discovery of a novel matched 225/226Ac-radiopharmaceutical pair, [225Ac]crown-TATE and [226Ac]crown-TATE, and conducted studies aiming to compare the radiation dosimetry of these candidates.
280Bio Inc. has received FDA approval of its IND application for the KRAS inhibitor YL-17231. 280Bio will start phase I enrollment in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of this year for the treatment of advanced cancer patients with RAS mutations in their tumors.
Ichnos Sciences Inc.’s first-in-class T-cell engaging trispecific antibody, ISB-2001, has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
Suzhou Puhe Biopharma Co. Ltd. researchers have prepared and tested substituted bicyclic heteroaryl compounds acting as GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Research at Vrise Therapeutics Inc. has led to the development of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,6-naphthyridine derivatives acting as GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors and thus reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf has patented 3-((3-([1,1’-biphenyl]-3-ylmethoxy)phenoxy)methyl)benzonitrile derivatives that are radiolabeled compounds targeting programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; CD274). They are reported to be potentially useful for the diagnosis and/or radionuclide therapy treatment of cancer and SARS-CoV-2.
B7-H4 is an immune-suppressive protein overexpressed in several tumors, including breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers, that has been successfully targeted with antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) strategies in preclinical testing.
Hillstream Biopharma Inc. has signed an exclusive agreement with Applied Biomedical Science Institute (ABSI) to license technology for human antibodies targeting novel HER2 and HER3 conformational epitopes. The goal is to develop proprietary multiformat biologics, including bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
