Using its artificial intelligence/machine learning platform, Aurigen, Auron Therapeutics Inc. has identified histone acetyltransferase KAT2A/B as a driver of tumor cell plasticity and designed new small-molecule degraders of KAT2A/B.
Despite GTPase KRAS being the most common mutated oncogene in human cancers, there is still an unmet medical need for treating KRAS G12C-mutated cancers.
Zinc transporter ZIP6, also known as LIV-1, is a transmembrane protein that is an interesting target for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy because of its higher expression in tumors and almost no expression in normal tissues.
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most common hematologic malignancy. Proteasome inhibitors are effective in MM, but many patients develop resistance, which is thought to be caused by mutations in the PSMB5 gene.
HSN-003839 is a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 21 (USP21) inhibitor discovered by Beijing Pharscin Innobio Co. Ltd. and being developed as a novel anticancer agent.
Recent work at Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, focused on the discovery and synthesis of imidazoquinoline-based Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists as potential candidates for the treatment of melanoma.
Results of preclinical studies with a highly potent KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitor for the treatment of cancer were recently reported by researchers from Betta Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. BPI-501836 displayed higher inhibitory activity at KRAS G12D, when compared to the reference compound (IC50=0.25 and 2.4 nM, respectively) in NanoBRET assays.
Researchers from Puhe Biopharma Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of PH027-1, a novel small-molecule Werner syndrome protein (WRN) inhibitor targeting microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) tumors.
Obesity is a chronic disorder tied to other disorders such as hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease, among others. Recent findings have suggested that EphB tyrosine kinase receptor and its ligand, ephrin B, may be involved in insulin signaling.
