Forschungsverbund Berlin eV has divulged phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, particularly PI3K C2 domain-containing subunit β (PIK3C2B) inhibitors, reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, X-linked myotubular myopathy and cardiovascular disorders.
Shanghaitech University has identified thiazolidinedione compounds acting as DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and overgrowth syndrome.
Hangzhou Healthytide Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has synthesized peptoid compounds targeting integrin α5β1 and/or integrin αvβ5 and/or αvβ6 reported to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Melanoma is responsible for about 80% of skin cancer deaths worldwide, particularly in cases with metastasis. Melanoma shows resistance to standard therapy and the search for novel treatment options is a medical need.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are marked by ineffective hematopoiesis and dysplasia, which elevate the risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The inflammatory environment in MDS alters the bone marrow niche, facilitating the growth of cancerous cells while inhibiting the healthy formation of blood cells.
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children and accounts for up to 15% of childhood cancer-related deaths worldwide. Neuroblastoma tumors are characterized by hypoxia, which represents a major challenge in its treatment.
Regor Pharmaceuticals Inc. has divulged phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal naevi, skeletal abnormalities and scoliosis, among others.
Hangzhou Polymed Biopharmaceuticals Inc. has synthesized crystalline forms of compounds acting as FLT3 (FLK2/STK1) and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular, neurological and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have detailed the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel reversible lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitors as candidates for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy.
