TYK Medicines Inc. and Zhejiang Tongyuankang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have identified tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and LEOPARD and Noonan syndrome.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Inc. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have published data from a study that aimed to investigate the role of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in cardiac remodeling after acute kidney injury (AKI).
About 8% of the worldwide population carries the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) alcohol flushing variant (ALDH2*2, rs671), which has been tied to an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) due to severe loss of ALDH2 enzymatic activity.
Escient Pharmaceuticals Inc. has obtained FDA clearance of its IND application for EP-262, a first-in-class, potent, highly selective small-molecule antagonist of Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2) for mast cell-mediated disorders.
Hepatocellular death is an important process for liver homoeostasis by elimination and replacement of impaired hepatocytes. Hepatocellular death occurs little under normal conditions in the healthy liver, and it plays a key role as a trigger of liver regeneration; meanwhile, hepatic steatosis increases hepatocellular death during liver regeneration, exacerbating both acute and chronic liver damage.
Researchers from Hefei Industrial Pharmaceutical Institute Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of novel multifunctional inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.
Treatment with the fusion protein QL-1005 reduced caloric intake and body weight in mice and primates. In obese animals, it also improved insulin, fasting glucose and triglyceride levels. The design belongs to the Chinese biopharmaceutical company Beijing QL Biopharmaceutical, which will begin clinical trials in a year.
By applying deep learning methods to a large database of zinc finger nucleases, researchers at the University of Toronto and New York University have developed an algorithm, Zfdesign, that was able to design custom zinc fingers for any given stretch of DNA. “I think this system levels the playing field for zinc fingers and CRISPR,” said Philip Kim, co-corresponding author of the team's paper published online in Nature Biotechnology on Jan. 26, 2023.
