Researchers from Cogent Biosciences Inc. have presented data on their PI3KA H1047R mutant inhibitor CGT-6297 PI3KA wild-type inhibitors can lead to toxicity issues such as hyperglycemia, gastrointestinal toxicity and skin reactions.
Changchun Genescience Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has reported GSC-000829, a novel and selective FGFR2/FGFR3 inhibitor being developed for the potential treatment of cancer.
Hangzhou Synrx Therapeutics Biomedical Technology Co. Ltd. recently presented the development and characterization of a novel PARG inhibitor, SYN-608, for the potential treatment of tumors with/without homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).
Tumor cell survival is dependent on phosphate homeostasis, which requires high amounts of energy. Researchers have demonstrated that the silencing of xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor 1 (XPR1) led to reduced tumor growth in an ovarian cancer cell line xenograft, and similar vulnerability was found in lung cancer.
MBT-C101 is a selective, potentially first-in-class potent HSP90 chaperone-mediated degrader of PI3Kα, for the treatment of breast cancer. It was developed by Magicbullet Therapeutics Inc. using the company’s Chaperone-mediated Degrader (CM-Degrader) platform.
Genetic alterations in FAT1, YAP1 or WWTR1 genes are commonly seen in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Targeting Hippo and MAPK pathways in combination has proven effective in preclinical models of HNSCC.
The next-generation farnesyl transferase inhibitor KO-2806 is currently in phase I clinical development at Kura Oncology Inc. for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).
CK1α serves as an upstream regulator of the p53 pathway, and its degradation may facilitate cell death by preventing MDM2 and/or MDMX mediated inactivation of p53.
