McGill University, Université de Montreal, Yeda Research and Development Co. Ltd. and Yissum Research Development Co. have jointly developed anisomycin analogues reported to be useful for the treatment of giardiasis, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis and trypanosomiasis.
Sherlock Biosciences Inc. is on the case of the missing tests – the lack of diagnostic testing for sexually transmitted infections, that is. Sherlock’s over-the-counter molecular, disposable tests combine CRISPR and synthetic biology chemistries to provide results in 30 minutes in the privacy of the user’s home.
At last week’s EASL meeting, Janssen Pharmaceutica NV disclosed the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel pan-genotypic hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication inhibitor, JNJ-64779117 (JNJ-9117).
SA-012 is an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated silencing RNA (siRNA) that targets the mRNA of the PD-L1 gene and is being developed by Suzhou Siran Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Schrodinger Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have identified 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome.
SA-012 is an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated silencing RNA (siRNA) that targets the mRNA of the PD-L1 gene and is being developed by Suzhou Siran Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Moderna Inc. is gearing up to meet with regulators on the next steps for mRNA-1083, the first combination vaccine for influenza and COVID-19 to succeed in phase III testing, not only demonstrating noninferiority to individually licensed competitor vaccines but also eliciting statistically significant higher immune responses.
Rome Therapeutics Inc. has synthesized cyclopentene-oxymethylene phosphonamidate compounds acting as LINE-1 retrotransposable element ORF1 protein (L1RE1) and/or HERV-K reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in combination with the siRNA AD-66810, which targets the X gene expression in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, was tested in a murine model of AAV/HBV by scientists from Clearb Therapeutics Inc.
