Vidac Pharma Holding plc has announced results from an in vitro study of VDA-1275 in combination with chemotherapeutic agents to treat solid tumors. VDA-1275 is a potent small molecule that reverses cancer cell hyper glycolytic metabolism (Warburg effect).
Researchers from New York University College of Dentistry’s Pain Research Center in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh found a candidate for chronic pain treatment among a library of 27 million compounds.
Invios GmbH and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have entered into a preclinical research collaboration to evaluate Invios' immune-activating small molecule, INV-501, as a potential treatment for glioblastoma.
Abbisko Therapeutics Co. Ltd. has received clearance from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials in China of ABSK-051, a novel small-molecule CD73 inhibitor, for advanced solid tumors.
Aquinnah Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced preclinical research findings for a novel small-molecule therapeutic designed to slow or stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
Vyne Therapeutics Inc. has released promising new preclinical data on its oral small-molecule BD2-selective BET inhibitor, VYN-202, in preclinical models of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. In a well-established model, a psoriasis phenotype was induced in BALB-C mice, and treatment was administered intraperitoneally with either VYN-202, the allosteric TYK2 inhibitor Sotykto (deucravacitinib, Bristol Myers Squibb Co.) or placebo.
Erasca Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for ERAS-3490, an orally available small-molecule KRAS G12C inhibitor designed to have high central nervous system (CNS) penetration for the treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Researchers from the University of Zaragoza and Promontory Therapeutics Inc. have discovered that PT-112, which has a multimodal mechanism of action, could have different clinical applications in cancer treatment due to its effects on mitochondria in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). PT-112 is an immunogenic small molecule currently in phase II development in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The researchers designed PT-112 to target advanced solid tumors, such as thymus, small-cell, non-small-cell lung or CRPC.
