Incyte Corp. has patented bicyclic amines acting as cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
A Shandong Luye Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. patent discloses serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK1 (STPK13) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disease and viral infections.
National Taiwan University researchers reported the identification of a novel sorafenib derivative, SCB-24, which has the potential to be a new antimicrobial therapeutic.
Researchers from Virion Therapeutics LLC and The Wistar Institute presented preclinical data for VRON-0200, a novel therapeutic vaccine candidate being developed to achieve functional cure of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Cholemic nephropathy (CN) is an acute renal dysfunction that occurs after high bile acid (BA) levels provoke epithelial cell damage and tubular obstruction in the kidneys.
Skyline Therapeutics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has received FDA clearance for its IND application for a phase I/IIa trial of SKG-0106, a one-time intravitreally delivered recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). A global phase I trial will be initiated soon.
Because of its overexpression in many solid tumors, gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) represents a promising therapeutic target and imaging marker for cancer. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and bombesin are the natural ligands for GRPR. To improve in vivo stability, researchers at the University of British Columbia synthesized two 68Ga-labeled GRPR agonists by replacing Val and His sequences in GPR(20-27) and bombesin(7-14) with Tle and NMe-His, respectively.
The fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a known biomarker expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), as well as an important target that distinguishes normal fibroblasts from CAF. Researchers from National Yang-Ming University recently reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel PET tracer, [18F]FEQGP, being developed for the detection of FAB expression in CAF imaging.
Natural compounds derived from quinoline and isoquinoline have gained significant attention due to their remarkable biological properties, encompassing antibacterial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Meanwhile, pyrazoles, a prominent class of heterocyclic compounds, exhibit a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical properties.
Zymedi Co. Ltd. has signed a clinical cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to develop ZMA-001 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
