Researchers from Hibercell Inc. presented preclinical data for the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-α kinase 3 (PERK) inhibitor HC-5404, currently in phase I development for the treatment of solid tumors (NCT04834778).
Pyrimidopyridine derivatives acting as GTPase KRAS G12D inhibitors have been reported in a Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Beijing Tide Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has prepared proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an ubiquitin ligase binding moiety bound to a protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11; PTP-2C; SHP-2) targeting moiety through a linker.
Research at F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. has led to the identification of sulfonylpiperazinyl compounds acting as UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase (LpxH) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections.
Researchers from Kanaph Therapeutics Inc. have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a small-molecule EGFR inhibitor, KNP-501, being developed as an anticancer agent.
Amgen Inc. and Tscan Therapeutics Inc. have entered into a multi-year collaboration that will use Tscan’s proprietary target discovery platform, Targetscan, to identify the antigens recognized by T cells in patients with Crohn’s disease.
Cell cycle dysregulation in cancer cells represents a clinical option for treating cancer, by using cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitory agents. Further evaluation on this approach was presented by TYK Medicines Inc., where they focused on the pharmacological action of a CDK7 inhibitor TY-2699a for the potential treatment of cancer.
