Purdue Research Foundation has prepared and tested new peptides acting as N-terminal Xaa-Pro-Lys N-methyltransferase 1 (NTMT1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have patented imidazole macrocycles acting as stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING; TMEM173) antagonists. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory, neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular and ocular disorders.
Research at Aurigene Oncology Ltd. has led to the identification of fused bicyclic heterocyclyl compounds acting as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (USP1) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
A DE Shaw Research LLC patent reports N3-substituted uracil compounds acting as transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 (TRPA1) antagonists. As such, they are reported to be useful for the treatment of pain, fibrosis, autoimmune disease, neurological, dermatological, cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders, among others.
Wistar Institute of Anatomy & Biology has synthesized new 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) plays a critical role in innate immunity by acting both as a scaffolding protein and a protein kinase, and its overactivation correlates with several autoimmune disorders.
Researchers from Guangdong Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have discovered novel farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists as candidates for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Twist Bioscience Corp. has established a drug discovery agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to discover and develop novel antibodies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) has launched a call for new chemical compounds to screen against malaria through its MMV open innovation (MMVoi) initiative. Submissions from both industry and academia allow for compounds that have already been synthesized but not yet tested against malaria to be identified.
