Pancreatic cancer is still among the most lethal cancers, with >45% of patients presenting distant metastasis at diagnosis, and with a 5-year survival rate of 13%. Known for its role in appetite and energy homeostasis, neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most common neuropeptide in the central and peripheral nervous system, acting through its receptor NPY1R, among others.
Opko Health Inc. and Entera Bio Ltd. have entered into a collaboration and license agreement to advance an oral dual agonist GLP-1/glucagon peptide as a once-daily tablet into the clinic for patients with obesity, metabolic and fibrotic disorders.
In atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and other dermatologic diseases, T cells lose tolerance to self-antigens, triggering the autoimmune response that leads to abnormal skin cell proliferation and inflammation. The use of Nck modulators may help correct dysregulated T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, potentially restoring immune tolerance and reducing subsequent inflammatory responses.
Mucormycosis, a fungal infection caused by fungi from the order Mucorales, can cause severe disease, especially in immunocompromised subjects. These fungi are ubiquitous and can be found in environmental sources such as crop residues and soil. Among the multiple factors that increase the risk of mucormycosis infection are immunosuppression and diabetes mellitus.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has described proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising a protein cereblon (CRBN) ligase binding moiety covalently linked to an androgen receptor targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Proxygen GmbH has divulged molecular glue degraders comprising a cullin-ring E3 ligase (CRL)-binding moiety acting as cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)/cyclin K degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Scientists at Medical University of Vienna, The University of Queensland and Universität Innsbruck have identified cysteine stapled dynorphin A (CSD) analogues acting as κ-opioid receptor antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse and dependence, and stress disorders.
Pluvia AS has synthesized pharmacological chaperones able to stabilize phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) reported to be useful for the treatment of hyperphenylalaninemia, particularly phenylketonuria (PKU).
National Institute of Biological Sciences has disclosed pyrazole urea derivatives acting as inhibitor of nuclear factor κB kinase subunit ε (IKBKE; IKK-i) and/or TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1; NAK; T2K) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory disorders.
The estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) subtype accounts for 70% of all mammary carcinoma (MC) cases. ER+ MC patients display a prolonged clinical dormancy state, with a 70% recurrence 5-20 years after clinical remission and high mortality.
