Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified molecular glue degraders targeting protein cereblon (CRBN) acting as eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sage Therapeutics Inc. has synthesized sterol derivatives acting as glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2A (GRIN2A; GluN2A) negative allosteric modulators reported to be useful for the treatment of neurological disorders.
Alivexis Inc. and Melodia Therapeutics AG have entered into an exclusive license agreement for the worldwide development, manufacturing and commercialization of Alivexis’ MDI-0151, a novel cathepsin C inhibitor identified in Alivexis’ MOD-A discovery program.
SSO-110, also known as DOTA-JR11 or satoreotide tetraxetran, is a somatostatin SST2 receptor (SSTR2) antagonist that targets a higher number of binding sites and stays longer in SSTR2-positive tumors compared to SST2 receptor agonists. It is currently in clinical development as [177Lu]Lu-SSO-110 for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Ariceum Therapeutics GmbH has revealed preclinical data on [177Lu]Lu-SSO-110 as well as another SSO-110-based radiopharmaceutical, [225Ac]Ac-SSO-110, which yielded better results than DOTA-TATE-conjugated isotopes.
Aligos Therapeutics Inc. have discovered two novel non-heteroaryldihydropyrimidine (HAP) class A capsid assembly modulators (CAM-A) – ALG-006746 and ALG-006780 – which are being developed for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Ose Immunotherapeutics SA has presented preclinical data on its mRNA therapeutic platform for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The platform has been designed for the local delivery of mRNA into inflammatory tissue using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Interleukin-35 (IL-35) has been shown in preclinical studies to have a key role in controlling several immune-related disorders, including autoimmune diseases.
