A proprietary Src homology 2 (SH2) platform of integrated technologies was applied for the discovery of REX-7117 and REX-5376, two highly potent, selective and orally available SH2 domain-targeting STAT3 inhibitors.
Annually in the U.S., about 40,000 people with corneal endothelial cell dystrophy receive a corneal transplant. The ligand of melanocortin MC1 receptor (MC1R) has been shown to protect the corneal endothelial cells from stress and injury in several models.
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and affiliated organizations presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of MS-8535, a novel spindlin-1 (SPIN1) inhibitor being developed as chemical tool anticancer agent.
Researchers from ADC Therapeutics SA presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel camptothecin-based Claudin-6-specific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), GB01-VA-PL2202.
Amicetin-inspired inhibitors of the P-site (AIIPS), also known as CZ-02s, are a series of molecules that target and inhibit a unique site of the bacterial ribosome.
The TEAD family of transcription factors are regulated by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway and they act by binding the co-activators YAP and TAZ that drive the transcription of genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation and resistance.
Researchers from the Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine have presented the discovery of novel toll-like receptor (TLR)2/1 agonists as potential candidates for the treatment of lung cancer.
Researchers from State University of New Jersey (Rutgers) and Oklahoma State University have published preclinical data for a novel a SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) inhibitor being developed as an antiviral candidate for the treatment of COVID-19.
Researchers from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have reported the identification of a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, CLZX-205, being developed for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
