Atomwise Inc. reported the development and preclinical evaluation data of ATMW-DC, a novel orally available allosteric inhibitor of TYK2 developed using Atomwise’s drug discovery platform Atomnet, for the potential treatment of psoriatic inflammation.
Rgenta Therapeutics Inc. has presented their work on the discovery and development of RGT-61159, a potential first-in-class oral inhibitor of the oncogenic transcription factor c-MYB.
Septerna Inc. scientists have reported proof-of-concept data on a novel oral small-molecule thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) antagonist, SP-1351, with potential for the treatment of Graves’ disease (GD), including ophthalmic manifestations.
At last week’s EASL meeting, Janssen Pharmaceutica NV disclosed the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel pan-genotypic hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication inhibitor, JNJ-64779117 (JNJ-9117).
Chengdu Easton Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. recently presented findings that highlight the potential anticancer agent D0112-005 as a potent and selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibitor with excellent antitumor efficacy and a good safety profile in vivo.
In metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) preclinical models, absence of the lipid droplet-associated protein hydroxysteroid 17β dehydrogenase 13 (17β-HSD13) has been identified as protective against liver fibrosis.
Researchers from Septerna Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel parathyroid hormone PTH1 receptor (PTH1R) agonists being developed as a new treatment option against hypoparathyroidism.
A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (UIUC) has developed a novel antibiotic named lolamicin that was specific for gram-negative bacteria but did not harm the gut microbiome composition in mouse models.
Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare genetic disease caused by loss of functional lympho-epithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor (LEKTI, SPINK5). It was hypothesized that small-molecule inhibitors of KLK5 could replace deficient LEKTI in NS.
C-C chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6) regulates the migration and recruitment of T cells in inflammatory and immunological processes and, as part of the CCR6-CCL20 axis together with its exclusive binding molecule CCL20, plays a critical role in maintaining immunological homeostasis during inflammation and infection.
