Angel Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has described protein mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase TIPARP (PARP-7; ARTD14) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Wayshine Biopharm Holding Ltd. published new data regarding the preclinical systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), dose proportionality, and central nervous system (CNS) distribution of the novel ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor WSD-0628, being developed for the treatment of brain tumors.
Anivive Lifesciences Inc., a One Health technology company, reported the NIH’S National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded grant funding worth up to $33 million to the company to support the development of a vaccine against the fungus Coccidioides, which causes Valley Fever.
An antibody that binds to the latent form of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) prevented its release into the extracellular matrix and reduced the progression of fibrosis in the kidney. TGF-β is synthesized and secreted into the extracellular matrix in a latent inactive form associated with the latency peptide.
Researchers from Changzhi Medical College and affiliated organizations presented the discovery of DYC-1, a novel dual-target inhibitor of dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) and histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8), being developed for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Investigators at Washington University in St. Louis and Umea University have reported that the small molecule PS-757 was effective in culture and animal models against Streptococcus pyogenes, a gram-positive pathogen responsible for more than 500,000 deaths per year globally.
Scientists at the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research (NIBR) in Cambridge have discovered a small molecule that could be used as a therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD). The molecular glue oral degraders of the WIZ transcription factor called dWIZ-1 and dWIZ-2, bind to cereblon (CRBN) and WIZ, marking it for degradation and inducing the expression of fetal hemoglobin (HbF).
Cellular immunotherapy is the Lamine Yamal of cancer therapy. It is easy to forget how young the field is – and that as stunning as it is to watch in action already, it is still reaching its full potential. One aspect of doing so is working in a broader range of tumor types. The field made a giant step toward that goal with last week’s approval of Tecelra (afamitresgene autoleucel, Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc), the first CAR T cell to be approved for treatment of a solid tumor.
Johns Hopkins University has discovered daunorubicin derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, including glioblastoma, diffuse midline glioma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
