Asieris Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has described indole phthalocyanine compounds acting as fluorescence imaging agents with high contrast reported to be useful for the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
Sunshine Lake Pharma Co Ltd. has identified pyrimidopyridine compounds acting as GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
B&A Oncomedical SAS has synthesized solute carrier family 12 member 2 (SLC12A2; NKCC1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, schizophrenia, autistic spectrum disorders, fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome, Parkinson’s disease and temporal lobe epilepsy, among others.
Genesis Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) (H1047R mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Suzhou Sanegene Bio Inc.’s clinical trial application for SGB-3908 injection, an siRNA drug for the treatment of hypertension, has been accepted in China by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)’s Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE).
α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor-associated antigen and an ideal target for T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapy. While the safety of AFP-targeting TCR-T products has been previously demonstrated in early clinical trials, the efficacy of these cell therapies is still modest, warranting further research.
Previous findings had shown that injecting pepatin-1 prevented the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in rats with ocular hypertension. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis in RGCs revealed cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling to be activated by peptain-1 conjugated with a cell-penetrating peptide, named P1-CPP.
