Shanghai Meiyue Biotech Development Co. Ltd. has divulged molecular glue degraders comprising an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase/proto-oncogene Vav (VAV1) interaction inducer and VAV1 degradation inducer. They are designed for potential use in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, inflammatory and neurological disorders.
Neomorph Inc.’s NEO-811 is a molecular glue degrader designed to induce targeted degradation of ARNT and suppress this signaling pathway implicated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Targeting ARNT offers a complementary strategy to broadly disrupt oncogenic HIF signaling in ccRCC.
Researchers from Ruijin Hospital and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have patented molecular glue degraders, specifically eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducers that are potentially useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
