Jacobio Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has reported new fused tetracyclic compounds acting as GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Hansoh Biomedical Co. Ltd. have synthesized new mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kit (KIT; c-KIT; CD117) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of urticaria.
Albireo Ltd. has patented new benzothia(di)azepine compounds acting as ileal sodium/bile acid cotransporter (SLC10A2; IBAT; ASBT) and/or sodium-bile acid cotransporter (SLC10A1; NTCP) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver and renal disorders.
A hallmark of liver fibrosis is the differentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into myofibroblast-like cells, which are responsible for excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Among the key mediators of HSC activation, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) is considered the most potent pro-fibrotic cytokine.
Crossbow Therapeutics Inc. has nominated its second development candidate, CBX-663, a T-cell engager for the treatment of a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
The combination of interleukin-2 (IL-2) agonism with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibition has previously demonstrated synergistic efficacy in promoting antitumor T-cell responses. However, the incompatible dose levels and dosing schedules of the two therapeutic mechanisms have made their integration within a single molecule challenging.
Akari Therapeutics plc announced that it is continuing key research on its antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) payload PH1 to further demonstrate its ability to target cancers fueled by oncogenic drivers. PH1 is a spliceosome modulator designed to disrupt RNA splicing within cells. It binds spliceosome proteins SF3B1 and PH5α and targets normal splicing of pre-mRNA.

Opus Genetics Inc. has entered a strategic partnership with the Global RDH12 Alliance to advance Opus’ gene therapy program for patients with vision loss due to retinol dehydrogenase 12 (RDH12) gene mutations.
Researchers from Peking University and the China-Japan Friendship Hospital have gained new insights into the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cerebral damage resulting from external mechanical impacts causes TBI, which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
