Gilead Sciences Inc. and Genesis Therapeutics Inc. have entered into a strategic collaboration to discover and develop novel small-molecule therapies across multiple targets.
IGC Pharma Inc. has used its artificial intelligence (AI) modeling to identify the company’s proprietary molecule, IGC-1A, as a potential GLP-1 agonist. The company’s AI model compared IGC-1A and IGC-1C to established drugs such as Ozempic (semaglutide), tirzepatide, retatrutide and metformin, among others, and indicated that they could become effective options for metabolic disorders.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery has shown promise in recent years with a growing number of new compounds moving forward in the pipeline.
Italfarmaco SpA and Iktos SA have entered into a collaboration to develop next-generation histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors for a variety of non-oncological diseases, including diseases affecting the central nervous system.
Enveda Biosciences (Enveda Therapeutics Inc.) has announced a new series B2 financing round of $55 million. The drug discovery and development company uses artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technologies to translate nature into new medicines.
Archetype Therapeutics Inc. has discovered compounds for the treatment of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma by screening billions of compounds from the Enamine REAL Space chemical library and other libraries.
Owkin Inc. has in-licensed OKN-4395 (ACT-1002-4391), a highly selective and potent dual inhibitor of prostanoid receptors EP2 and EP4, from Idorsia Ltd.
U.S. Precision Medicine Inc. has announced plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to support work on its small-molecule drug candidate for cancer.
A group of scientists from Harvard University have observed and reconstructed the human brain at the resolution of the electron microscope, with all its cells, following all the connections between its neurons around a cubic millimeter of a tissue sample. They took 10 years and the data occupies 1.4 petabytes (1,400 terabytes). However, they are already planning a bigger project.
