Healzen Therapeutics Co. Ltd. has patented new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1)-targeting moiety via a linker. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, hematological and autoimmune diseases.
Yuhan Corp. has disclosed mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Yuhan Corp. has described pyrimidine/pyridine derivatives acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
MD Biopharm Co. Ltd. has identified compounds acting as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 11 (MAP3K11; MLK3) and kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, viral infection, Parkinson’s disease, nonalcoholic or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH) and tuberculosis.
The inhibition of hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), predominantly expressed in immune cells, has proven effective in reducing tumor growth across cancer immune response modulation.
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is expressed in hematopoietic cells, including T cells, B cells and dendritic cells (DCs). Suppression of HPK1 activity has shown an antitumor effect in preclinical models.
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) plays a relevant role in regulating T-cell, B-cell and dendritic cell function. As its inactivation both in vitro and in vivo contributes to tumor growth inhibition, HPK1 is considered a therapeutic target to explore in cancer immunotherapy.
Insilico Medicine Inc. has prepared and tested new spirocyclic mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and viral infections.
An article by Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. scientists reports data from a study designed to assess the potential of combining pharmacological inhibition of hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) with programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade as a novel strategy to enhance antitumor immunity against tumors with low antigenicity.
