Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University published the design and preclinical characterization of novel potent and selective CDC2-like kinase 2 (CLK2) inhibitors as potential candidates for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Researchers from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have reported the identification of a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, CLZX-205, being developed for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
The FDA has cleared Prime Medicine Inc.’s IND application for PM-359 for the treatment of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), enabling initiation of a phase I/II trial in the U.S.
Accession Therapeutics Ltd. has raised £25 million (US$31.3 million) to fund it through the generation of the first clinical data for its lead product, TROCEPT-01 (ATTR-01), and completion of IND-enabling studies for a second program. The internal early-stage pipeline will also be progressed.
The administration of a cross-reactive monoclonal antibody (MAb) protected hamsters and African green monkeys (AGM) several days after Nipah virus (NiV) infection.
Researchers from Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics LLC have presented data at the ongoing ESCMID conference regarding their unconjugated multiepitope vaccine against influenza, LHNVD-105.
Alligator Bioscience AB reported that Orion Corp. has selected the lead bispecific antibodies from the companies’ second development program, and is exercising its option to develop these molecules under the existing 2021 research collaboration and license agreement.
About 25% of subjects with West Nile virus (WNV) infection develop fever and about 1% have neuroinvasive disease. Recent research has proposed measuring CD169 in peripheral blood (monocyte/lymphocyte ratio) as a marker of viral infections. The usefulness of monocyte CD169 (mCD169) in peripheral blood was tested in subjects with active WNV infection.
Females have a much greater risk of developing an autoimmune disease than males do. Eighty percent of autoimmune disease patients are female, and specific disorders can have an even more lopsided ratio – 90% of systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) and almost 95% of Sjögren’s disease patients are female.
Scientists at Foshan Ionova Biotherapeutics Co. Ltd., Guangdong Touchstone Translational Research Institute Co. Ltd. and Shenzhen Ionova Life Science Co. Ltd. have described tricyclic compounds acting as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, particularly CDK1/cyclin B and/or CDK2/cyclin E1 and/or CDK4/cyclin D3 and/or CDK6/cyclin D3 inhibitors, reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
