Hinova Pharmaceuticals Inc. has presented proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to tyrosine-protein phosphatase nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, Noonan and LEOPARD syndromes.
Deka Biosciences Inc.'s IND application has been cleared by the FDA allowing the company to proceed with a phase I trial of DK-210 (EGFR) in patients with advanced solid cancer overexpressing epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR).
Breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) is a critical tumor suppressor in breast cancer, and BRCA1 deficiency impairs DNA damage repair, leading to DNA damage accumulation and subsequent genetic alterations that result in the onset of breast cancer. In the current study, researchers from the University of Macau aimed to identify the potential factors that may participate in BRCA1-associated tumorigenesis.
TYK Medicines Inc. and Zhejiang Tongyuankang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have identified tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and LEOPARD and Noonan syndrome.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Inc. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
