Nanjing Mingde New Drug Research Co. Ltd. has designed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant)-targeting moiety via a linker for the treatment of cancer.
Scientists at Oncopia Therapeutics Inc. (dba SK Life Science Labs) and The University of Michigan have synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to a probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α) and transcription activator BRG1 (SMARCA4; BAF190A; SNF2-β)-targeting agent through a linker.
Kangbaida (Sichuan) Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising a cereblon (CRBN) ligand coupled to a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Haihe Biopharma Co. Ltd. has published work on the discovery of novel ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) inhibitors being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Shanghai Institute of Biological Products Co. Ltd. published details on the development and preclinical characterization of novel CD20-targeting T cell-dependent bispecific Fab-FabCH3 antibodies, referred to as tandem antigen-binding fragment 002 (TFAB-002).
Protein homeostasis is disrupted in response to an uncontrolled stress condition, a hallmark of many diseases, such as cataracts. Lens protein accumulation and aggregates are a cause of cataract development.
Researchers from Nanjing First Hospital reported that glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 2 (GFPT2) may be considered a diagnostic and prognostic marker of mesothelioma.
Researchers from Proqr Therapeutics NV recently presented preclinical data on AX-0810, a single-stranded RNA editing oligonucleotide (EON) targeting RNA coding for NTCP cotransporter
Marvel Biosciences Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Marvel Biotechnology Inc. have reported promising results from a recent study of MB-204 in the Oprm1 mouse model of autism, showing that just 1 hour after administering a single oral dose of MB-204, the drug successfully reversed the social behavior deficits typically seen in the model.
Recent evidence has suggested CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 3 (CISD3) plays a tumorigenic role and is a key member in mitochondrial functioning. Additionally, the methylation changes surrounding the CISD3 gene plus its expression patterns in several cancer types suggest its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.
