Quanta Therapeutics Inc. has identified new pyrimidine-based GTPase KRAS G12D and G12V mutant inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.

Astrazeneca AB patents describe new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α)-targeting moiety reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.

Researchers from Northeastern University and the University of Georgia have synthesized new tetrahydroacridinone analogues.

The standard treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). However, despite it being effective, many patients experience recurrences, and others become unresponsive. The activation of the intracellular transmembrane receptor stimulator of interferon genes (STING) has shown antitumoral effects in murine cancer models.

Vera Therapeutics Inc. entered a license agreement with Stanford University.

Scientists at Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) have reported a novel multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) targeting butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with potential for development as an antioxidant and metal-chelating agent for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
