Shanghai Haiyan Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. and Yangtze River Pharmaceutical Group have divulged new isoindoline proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands covalently linked to a eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1)-targeting moiety. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Work at Apertor Pharmaceuticals Inc. has led to the preparation of new hetero-bifunctional compounds acting as mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising a E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to an estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-targeting moiety. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of breast cancer.
Siren Biotechnology Inc. has obtained IND approval from the FDA enabling the initiation of its first-in-human trial for its lead investigational program SRN-101 in adult patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.
Boomray Co. Ltd. has disclosed new conjugates comprising a fibroblast activation protein-α (FAPα) inhibitor covalently linked to radiolabeled chelating agents through a linker. They are reported to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, inflammation, atherosclerosis, fibrosis, metabolic and neurological disorders.
Despite the successful application of adoptive T-cell transfer with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells for the treatment of various hematologic malignancies, several other hematologic disorders, such as BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), still lack effective treatment options.
Chemotherapy is often seen solely as a tumor-targeting treatment, yet new evidence reveals a paradox: the tissue injury it causes can reprogram the body’s defenses, influencing the risk of metastasis. Researchers from the University of Lausanne and collaborators reported that chemotherapy reshapes the gut-immune axis by inducing microbiota-derived indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), which reprograms myelopoiesis to curb monocyte-driven immunosuppression and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology, National Cancer Center of Korea and Seoul National University have jointly divulged new PreS1 (hepatitis B virus, HBV) derivatives for the treatment of HBV infection.
The University of Kansas has synthesized TNF-α (ARE sequence)/ELAV-like protein 1 (HuR) interaction inhibitors. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and myocardial fibrosis.
Akari Therapeutics plc has unveiled a new pipeline candidate, AKTX-102, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed against CEACAM5, a novel target highly relevant in gastrointestinal and lung cancers.
