A quarterly dynamic table featuring new molecular entities (NMEs) revealed for the first time in current literature, at congresses and in company communications during the quarter.
After closing an oversubscribed $85 million series B round, Quantx Biosciences Inc. is gearing up to begin clinical trials of its two lead immunology compounds, a STAT6 oral small-molecule inhibitor and an IL-17 oral small-molecule inhibitor.
Shenzhen Salubris Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has discovered dual antagonists of endothelin ETA receptor (EDNRA; ETRA) and angiotensin AT1 receptor (AGTR1; AT1). They are reported to be useful for the treatment of chronic kidney disease, IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and hypertension.
Nanjing Anji Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has discovered 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (OGDH; OGDC-E1) inhibitors. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of schizophrenia, liver fibrosis, liver cancer, diabetic nephropathy, heart failure, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, among others.
Aurigene Oncology Ltd. has identified compounds acting as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ewha Womans University has reported Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors described as potentially useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer.
QC-6352 is a small molecule developed to inhibit the histone demethylase 4 (KDM4) that has shown potent antitumoral activity and which has a derivative named zavondemstat that is being tested in clinical trials. Researchers from Australia recently demonstrated the antiproliferative activity of QC-6352 in glioblastoma models is independent of KDM4 blockade.
Renal fibrosis originates from diverse etiologies, including diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis and prolonged obstruction, which lead to persistent inflammation and altered repair processes that drive fibrogenesis. M2 macrophages, especially those expressing the macrophage mannose receptor (CD206), play a crucial role in driving fibrogenesis.
