Atai Therapeutics Inc. has synthesized new tetrahydro pyridine-substituted indole and azaindoles acting as 5-HT2A receptor partial agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Acumen Pharmaceuticals Inc. and JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. have entered a collaboration, option and license agreement to develop a novel therapeutic candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Pfizer Inc. has identified signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, atherosclerosis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, respiratory and dermatological disorders.
2A Biosciences Inc. has described phenethylamines acting as 5-HT2A receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of psychiatric, neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, inflammatory and eye disorders.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC has prepared and tested triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative and inflammatory condition of the central nervous system (CNS) that impacts more than 2.5 million individuals globally. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that has shown a mild inhibitory effect on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which serves as a mouse model for MS. However, its clinical application is limited by unfavorable pharmacokinetics and associated toxicity.
A recent study published in the journal International Immunopharmacology presents compelling preclinical evidence that NIMA-associated kinase 7 (NEK7), a key regulator of inflammation, may play a pivotal role in the pathology of depression.
The switch will be flicked today to make the world’s largest dementia-related proteomics dataset freely available to researchers, at the same time as members of the consortium which compiled it publish the proteomics signatures of major neurodegenerative diseases that they uncovered in a first trawl of the data.
Recent patents from Vigil Neuroscience Inc. describe heterocyclic compounds acting as triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) agonists.
A team of researchers from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, further investigated the link between hippocampal G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel (GIRK) and Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
