Klotho Therapeutics Inc. has synthesized new histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.
Maze Therapeutics has patented apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of chronic kidney disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, HIV-associated nephropathy, lupus nephritis and sepsis.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic mediator involved in a variety of cellular functions. It is a product of cell membrane sphingolipid catabolism as it is generated from sphingosine intracellularly by sphingosine kinases 1 and 2 (SphK1 and SphK2), and it is exported from cells by spinster homolog 2 (Spns2) or major facilitator superfamily 2b (Mfsd2b).
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a group of rare kidney diseases characterized by complement dysregulation and predominant C3 deposition in the kidney tissue.
Researchers from Kira Pharmaceuticals LLC and University of Pennsylvania have developed a novel mouse model of rapidly progressing lethal C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), with the aim of assessing whether inhibition of proximal alternative pathway (AP) complement components such as factor D (FD) may be more efficacious than C5 inhibition for the treatment of C3G.
