Proabtech Co. Ltd. investigators have published findings from the preclinical characterization of PAT-101, a novel recombinant human albumin (rHA)-conjugated urate oxidase (Uox) variant, being developed for the treatment of gout.
Researchers from Hefei University and Anhui Medical University have reported the discovery of novel nitric oxide (NO) inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of acute colitis.
Investigators from Proqr Therapeutics NV have tested their product QR-1011, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to correct splicing abnormalities within the ABCA4 gene that affect protein expression levels, in Stargardt disease.
Cellular senescence is a state of terminal cell cycle arrest that is being increasingly explored for its role in cancer therapeutics. Researchers from Ocean University of China reported on AS-1041, an anthraquinone compound derived from the marine compound Aspergiolide A, designed to be used against leukemia due to its pro-senescence effect.
Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd. has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Spexis AG for a preclinical program of antibiotics from a novel class, targeting gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains.
Exevir Bio BV has released new data demonstrating that its antibodies are highly potent in neutralizing currently circulating COVID-19 omicron variants.
The most comprehensive analysis of gene dependencies in cancer cells to date has identified 370 “highly enriched” drug targets in defined molecular backgrounds. This latest iteration of the Cancer Dependency Map, published in Cancer Cell, Jan. 11, 2024, builds on an earlier version published in 2019, which was based on 324 cell lines.
Researchers have reported that the predictive abilities of a machine learning algorithm trained using best practices on a large clinical dataset did not generalize beyond the data that was used to train it. The algorithm was able to predict, to a degree, which individual patients would benefit from the medication when the patients were from the dataset the algorithm was trained on. But when it was supposed to predict who would benefit in clinical cohorts that were not part of the training, it performed no better than chance.
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. has described G protein-coupled receptor GPR88 agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance abuse and dependence, schizophrenia, Tourette syndrome, bipolar disorder, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
