Novartis AG and Les Laboratoires Servier SAS have identified proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) compounds comprising E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently bonded to Bcl-2-like protein 1 (BCL2L1)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described pyrrolopyridazines acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Genentech Inc. presented data on structure-based lead optimization of orally bioavailable hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) inhibitors. HPK1 is a negative regulator of T-cell receptor signaling in human T cells and target inhibition significantly increases cytokine production, such as IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-2, and T-cell proliferation, suggesting HPK1 inhibition as an intracellular T-cell target for cancer immunotherapy.
Identification of selective, ligand-efficient ATP-competitive inhibitors of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2) for the potential treatment of cancer was discussed by Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (BMS).
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling to intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) cells in the gut, where most GLP-1 is made, was important for inflammation in the gut itself, but less so for systemic inflammation.
