Shenzhen Salubris Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has discovered new proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-type 9 (PCSK9) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase dual inhibitors. They are described as potentially useful for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Tyk Medicines Inc. has identified N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase; OGA) inhibitors described as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer, metabolic diseases, Alzheimer’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy.
Researchers from the Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale, Universite de Bordeaux and Universite de Paris Cite have reported indane 1,3-dione derivatives acting as furin (PACE; PCSK3) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Jeil Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has disclosed dihydrothiopyranopyrimidine compounds acting as phosphodiesterase PDE4 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory joint disease, neurological disorders and more.
The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is one of the most potent central stimulators of feeding and regulates energy balance. Therefore, agonists of the melanin-concentrating hormone MCH1 receptor could offer potential for weight management. Moreover, the role of MCH1 receptor in syndromic obesity has recently been uncovered.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory condition affecting the skin, the genetic mechanisms of which are not well understood. A group of researchers set out to explore the genetic background of familial HS by performing whole-exome sequencing on genomic DNA from patients.
Laminins are extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins that preserve the structural and functional integrity of tissues. These heterotrimeric proteins, composed of one α, β and γ chain encoded by different genes, provide mechanical support, facilitate cell adhesion and maintain tissue organization and stability.
