Researchers from Guilin Medical University (GLMU) reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) inhibitors as potential anticancer agents. Synthesis and optimization of a series of chromone-oxime derivatives containing piperazine sulfonamide moieties led to the identification of compound [I] as the lead IDO-1 inhibitor.
Cancer Research Technology Ltd. and Merck KGaA have jointly patented tricyclic heterocycles acting as transcriptional coactivator YAP1/transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) interaction inhibitors.
Bioray Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.’s IND application for BRY-812, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting human LIV-1 for the treatment of advanced malignant tumors, has been accepted by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
Antengene Corp. Ltd.'s Claudin 18.2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ATG-022 has been granted two orphan drug designations consecutively by the FDA for the treatment of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by a chromosomal translocation that results in the generation of the BCR-ABL1 oncogene, which encodes the chimeric BCR-ABL1 protein with tyrosine kinase activity. Allosteric tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) represent an improvement of 2-fold in efficacy over standard inhibitors and are better tolerated.
C-C Chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6) antagonists have been reported in a recent Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers from Henan University of Chinese Medicine have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of new histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitors as potential anticancer candidates.
A Voronoi Bio Inc. and Voronoi Inc. patent describes platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kit (KIT; c-Kit; CD117) and their mutant inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibrosis, neurological diseases, atherosclerosis, and pulmonary hypertension.
Researchers from City of Hope discussed preclinical data for CD33-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells being developed for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
