University of Regensburg has described water-soluble FLT3 (FLK2/STK1) inhibitors and their prodrugs reported to be useful for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently bonded to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
The bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) subfamily contain two similar tandem bromodomains (BD1 and BD2). Selective inhibition of BD2 has been deeply explored; however, the obtention of selective and potent BD1 inhibitors is essential and still lacking.
A researcher at Australia’s Children’s Cancer Institute has been awarded a 3-year US$400,000 grant by the Chadtough Defeat DIPG Foundation to develop and test a new drug candidate for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
Previous studies have suggested the importance of cholesterol metabolism in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Since ferroptosis is closely related to lipid metabolism, researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute aimed to investigate the crosstalk between metabolic reprogramming and ferroptosis in MM cells.
Scinnohub Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has divulged cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, particularly CDK9 inhibitors, reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Scientists at Shanghai Aryl Pharmtech Co. Ltd. and Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have synthesized kinesin-like protein KIF18A inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor 2 (COUP-TFII, aka NR2F2) is dysregulated in different cancer types. However, its exact role remains controversial because it acts as an oncosuppressor in some tumors and as an oncogene in others. In glioma progression, the role of COUP-TFII is still unclear.
