Treeline Biosciences Inc. has synthesized new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to transcriptional enhancer factor TEF (TEAD)-targeting moiety potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sichuan Kelun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has discovered new lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of Candidal infection and aspergillosis.
Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have disclosed 4-aminoquinoline inhibitors of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) intended for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
KSP-1007 is a new bicyclic boronate-based broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor that, in combination with meropenem, is under development for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria that produce serine- and metallo-type carbapenemases.
Congruence Therapeutics Inc. has closed a $39.5 million financing to advance into its portfolio of small-molecule correctors for diseases of protein misfolding into the clinic.
HORMA domain-containing protein 1 (HORMAD1) is a protein that promotes meiotic recombination and its expression is usually restricted to germ-line cells, although it has been shown to be actively expressed out of context in about 60% of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). A team at The Institute of Cancer Research has found that this aberrant expression in tumor cells perturbs mitotic arrest and generates aneuploidy, leading to a weakening of the spindle assembly checkpoint and in kinetochore-microtubule error correction.
Researchers from Incyte Corp. reported the efficacy of INCB-161734, a KRAS G12D inhibitor, in combination with various strategies in models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs).
At the ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress held this week in Paris, researchers at Mabqi SAS presented the preclinical characterization of MQI-201, an anti-TRPV6 therapeutic antibody in models of metastatic prostate cancer.
