Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising antibodies targeting cadherin-3 (CDH3; CDHP; P-cadherin) covalently linked to cytotoxic drug through a linker. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Scientists from Adlai Nortye Biopharma Co. Ltd. and Adlai Nortye Pte Ltd. have prepared and tested proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to a signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6)- or STAT3-targeting moiety.
Researchers from Fudan University reported the development of CZL-077, a p300/CBP bromodomain inhibitor. p300 and CREB-binding protein (CBP) are closely related histone acetyltransferases that play central roles in regulating gene expression. Dysregulation of these proteins has been implicated in tumorigenesis and the development of therapy resistance.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has obtained IND approval from the FDA for SYH-2082 injection, a GLP-1/GIP receptor dual-biased agonist polypeptide long-acting injection for weight management for individuals with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related comorbidity.
Researchers have explored the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on cognitive recovery in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, a rare, neuronal antibody-mediated disorder characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms and impaired cognitive function. hUC-MSCs have previously shown immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.
A recent study published in Molecular Therapy by researchers from West China Hospital at Sichuan University and collaborators aimed to investigate the effect of CaMKII gene therapy on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) protection in mouse models of retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and congenital glaucoma.
Researchers from Paratus Sciences Corp. presented the preclinical profile of PS-1001, a novel pan-inflammasome inhibitor designed to prevent IL-1β and IL-18 release.
Chikungunya virus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus for which no antiviral therapy has been approved. Nucleotide analogues are among the most promising broad-spectrum antivirals, as they inhibit viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, an essential enzyme for RNA virus replication.
