A team of researchers at the University of British Columbia investigated the potential of radiopharmaceutical therapy based on Terbium-161 (161Tb) both in vitro and in vivo using a novel tracer, [161Tb]Tb-BL34L20S, which uses the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)-targeting peptide BL34L20S labeled to 161Tb.
Chinese researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology have developed a novel carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting radiotracer, [68Ga]NXK-44, for the imaging of hypoxic tumors and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Vitsgen Therapeutics Inc. recently provided details on the preclinical characterization of a new prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotheranostic agent, [177Lu]PSMA-VG-01, for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Researchers from Sagittide Therapeutics Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have presented results of early studies with a novel MUC1-C-targeted near-infrared imaging agent – SAG-602 – for fluorescence-guided surgery of cancer.
At the recent meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College scientists co-presented a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting 68Ga/177Lu theranostic pair for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its preclinical evaluation.
Researchers at Ileadbms Co. Ltd. have announced promising results of their novel drug IL-21120033 in a preclinical model of rheumatoid arthritis. The drug acts as a selective agonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR7.
PRMT1 is a key enzyme that catalyzes asymmetric dimethylation of arginine residues and overexpressed in various cancers and inflammatory diseases. While current PRMT1 inhibitors lack specificity and effectiveness, targeted degradation of PRMT1 offers a potential strategy to treat PRMT1-driven conditions and explore its nonenzymatic roles.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to clinical symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability.
About 15% of all cancers have co-deletion of both the MTAP and CDKN2A genes, which results in sensitization to MAT2A inhibitors, thus opening a therapeutic window in these cancer types. MAT2A inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in MTAD-deficient cancers. Shouyao Holdings (Beijing) Co. Ltd. has developed and released data for their MAT2A inhibitor SY-9453 for the treatment of MTAP-deficient cancers.
Researchers at North China Electric Power University and collaborators have developed novel radiolabels for the membrane-bound monoamine oxidase-B that feature a coumarin core.
