Researchers at Guangzhou Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd. and Medshine Discovery Inc. have divulged novel non-fluorinated quinolones reported to be useful for the treatment of acne, bacterial infections and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers have developed NCP-112 (Novacell Technology Inc.), a novel FPR2-selective synthetic heptameric peptide ligand, and tested it in preclinical models of atopic dermatitis.
Researchers from Universität zu Köln have published data from a study that investigated the pathophysiology of disabling pansclerotic morphea (DPM), and as such, gain better understanding of the much larger range of disorders characterized by poor wound healing and severe, unchecked fibrosis.
Emris Pharma, a recent spin-off of Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd. and Yissum Research Development Co., has started development of a new topical drug to treat skin toxicities caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors used to treat cancer.
At the recent American Transplant Congress, researchers from McGill University presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) inhibitor, TF-S14, being developed as a potential therapy to delay skin allograft rejection.
Liminal Biosciences Inc. has nominated a lead preclinical candidate, LMNL-6326, from its oxoeicosanoid receptor 1 (OXER1) antagonist program, targeting the treatment of eosinophil-driven diseases such as eosinophilic asthma and atopic dermatitis.
Shenzhen Winkey Technology Co. Ltd. has described tetrapeptide derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of skin inflammation and hyperpigmentation.
PARP14 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase that transfers ADP-ribose from NAD+ onto the appropriate protein target. PARP14 selectively binds to STAT6 and promotes expression of IL-4-regulated genes, thus modulating inflammatory signaling pathways. PARP14 is overexpressed in tissues from patients with dermatomyositis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and other inflammatory disorder cells compared to normal tissues.
TRPV3 is a temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel that functions as a regulator of skin homeostasis. The epidermal overexpression of TRPV3 is linked to dermatological conditions with increased inflammation signals such as dermatitis, hyperkeratosis, keratoderma or pruritus.
Gossamer Bio Inc. has divulged trisubstituted pyridines acting as non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of asthma, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and allergic rhinitis, among others.
