Scientists at Atmosr SAS and Medetia SAS have synthesized adenine derivatives acting as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, myelofibrosis, acute pancreatitis, psoriasis and ROHHAD (rapid-onset obesity, hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, autonomic dysregulation).
Chengdu Zeling Biomedical Technology Co. Ltd. has disclosed NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, respiratory and neurological disorders.
Investigators from Microbiotix Inc. have published preclinical data for the novel spectinamide, MBX-4888A (Lee-1810), being developed for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB).
Capsida Biotherapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data for a new next-generation gene supplementation therapy candidate, CAP-003, for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with GBA1 mutations (PD-GBA).
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a tight junction protein that has been found to be up-regulated in around 20 different types of cancer, among them ovarian, endometrial and germ cell tumors. Conventional T-cell engagers (TCEs), although effective, may be improved with costimulation to overcome T-cell exhaustion due to CDE3 stimulation alone.
