Resistance to radiotherapy is a crucial factor in the outcome of colorectal cancer (CRC). The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a key role in cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and immune function.
In a presentation at the American Chemical Society meeting, Halda Therapeutics Inc. described its androgen receptor (AR)-targeting RIPTAC (regulated induced proximity targeting chimera) therapeutics as a new class of heterofunctional small molecules designed to selectively kill cancer cells that express tumor-specific targeting protein (TIP) into a stable intracellular ternary complex with a protein essential for cell survival for the treatment of prostate cancer.
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an intracellular multiprotein complex that may be activated by exogenous or endogenous signals and is involved in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory disorders.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is rated as the second most deadly cancer after lung cancer. Identifying new mechanisms responsible for CRC pathogenesis is crucial for the development of new therapies.
IGC Pharma Inc. has used its artificial intelligence (AI) modeling to identify the company’s proprietary molecule, IGC-1A, as a potential GLP-1 agonist. The company’s AI model compared IGC-1A and IGC-1C to established drugs such as Ozempic (semaglutide), tirzepatide, retatrutide and metformin, among others, and indicated that they could become effective options for metabolic disorders.
Both casein kinase 1α (CK1α) and zinc finger protein Helios (IKZF2) are among the targets most recently evaluated for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A growing number of molecules against these targets acting as degraders or inhibitors are actively being investigated.
At the ongoing meeting of the American Chemical Society in Denver, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. has reported the discovery of an orally available and brain-penetrant irreversible asparagine-specific endopeptidase (AEP) inhibitor, RO-7542742, for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
The risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) is nearly four times as high for women as it is for men. And that relative risk has increased sharply over time. In 1955, women were only slightly more likely than men to develop MS. A research team at the University of Toronto and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) has gained new insights into possible causes for this increasing disparity.
Chengdu Duote Antibody Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibody or antigen-binding fragments covalently linked to eribulin derivatives through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
