Humanwell Healthcare (Group) Co. Ltd. has divulged molecular glue degraders comprising cereblon (CRBN)-binding agents acting as proto-oncogene Vav (VAV1) degradation inducers. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, periodontitis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and type I diabetes, among others.
A patent from Gilead Sciences Inc. has divulged GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors and proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACS) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant)-targeting moiety through linker.
A Risen (Shanghai) Pharma Eng Co. Ltd. and Risen (Suzhou) Pharma Tech Co. Ltd. patent describes the discovery of new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS-targeting moiety. They are reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
