Chengdu Chipscreen Pharmaceutical Ltd. has synthesized protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd. has disclosed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1; ARTD1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Elevated expression of DHX9 has been reported in multiple cancer types and it is associated with poor prognosis. In a recently published study, researchers from Accent Therapeutics Inc. evaluated the role of DHX9 in cancer using the tool compound ATX-968, designed as a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of DHX9.
Io Biotech Aps has presented preclinical data regarding their Arg1-derived peptide cancer vaccine IO-112 as a potential immunotherapeutic that would allow controlling the tumor microenvironment.
Researchers from Tianjin University have published data regarding development and preclinical characterization of a new anti-PD-L1/CD40 bispecific antibody (BsAb), BA-4415, designed to activate CD40 signaling specifically in the context of PD-L1 while simultaneously blocking PD-1/PD-L1 signaling.
Epitopea Ltd. has signed a license and research collaboration agreement with MSD (Merck & Co. Inc.) to identify Cryptigen tumor-specific antigens in an undisclosed solid tumor. Cryptigen TSAs are shared, nonmutated, aberrantly expressed antigens that are derived from what were thought to be noncoding regions of the genome.
The lung and thrombosis may play a key role in cancer and metastasis progression, according to a collaborative study led by Cornell University scientists. In the nonmetastatic lung microenvironment of several cancer types, the development of a prothrombosis niche promotes metastasis formation through the release of small extracellular vesicles loaded with an integrin protein.
Shenzhen Zhongge Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has identified translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B) activators reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease, cancer, viral infection, neurodegeneration, metabolic diseases, and eye, dermatological and inflammatory disorders, among others.
Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has described Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase (WRN; RECQ3; RECQL2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ona Therapeutics SL is accelerating development of its first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapeutics, targeting novel tumor-specific markers to eliminate hard-to-treat, resistant cancer cells for multiple large solid tumor types.
