Convergen (Suzhou) Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to a serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK4-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Shenzhen Targetrx Inc. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety covalently linked to Raf kinase B (V600E mutant)-targeting moiety through linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological cancer with limited treatment options and characterized by frequent relapse and poor prognosis. The only approved antibody-drug conjugate for AML is gemtuzumab ozogamicin, which targets CD33.
Shanghai Xianxiang Medical Technology Co. Ltd. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety coupled to an EGFR (HER1; erbB1) mutant-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Shenzhen Targetrx Inc. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a Bcr-Abl (Bcr-Abl1) kinase and its mutant targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and immunological disorders.
Ascentage Pharma (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. and China Pharmaceutical University have identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Amphista Therapeutics Ltd. has developed and presented data for AMX-883, a novel orally bioavailable bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) degradation inducer for acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
treatment.
Nikang Therapeutics Inc. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)- and/or CDK4-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Uppthera Inc. has identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK1 (STPK13)-targeting moiety reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) helps promote the survival of cancer cells, and degrading it can sensitize tumors to immunotherapy against PD-1. Degrading the entire protein seems to be essential: merely blocking its kinase activity does not sensitize tumors.
