Zyversa Therapeutics Inc. has selected obesity and its related metabolic complications as the lead indication for its inflammasome ASC inhibitor IC-100.
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a severe genetic cardiac disorder caused by mutations in some desmosomal genes. The most frequently affected gene in patients with ACM is PKP2, the loss of which provokes desmosomal instability that leads to activation of downstream disease processes ultimately resulting in life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia and heart failure.
Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) under a once-daily oral schedule are the standard-of-care treatment for HIV. Longer-acting oral and injectable formulations to facilitate adherence to treatment regimens are needed.
Long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have shown efficacy in obesity treatment but, after discontinuation, a rapid recovery of weight is usually seen, likely due to orexigenic mechanisms involved in weight regain.
A joint Astrazeneca AB and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corp. patent details NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of liver, autoimmune and inflammatory bowel disease, inflammation, respiratory, cardiovascular and renal disorders.
