Sab Biotherapeutics Inc. has announced a private placement of up to $130 to fund the company’s lead research program, SAB-142, a potential disease-modifying treatment for type 1 diabetes. SAB-142 is expected to advance into clinical trials in the fourth quarter of this year.
Researchers from Assembly Biosciences Inc. recently presented details on the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel small-molecule hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) entry inhibitor, AB-1659.
Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are relatively short peptide loops in antibodies where they bind to their specific antigens. Bovines, unlike humans and other vertebrates, rely on ultralong CDR H3 antibody knob regions to neutralize cryptic viral epitopes.
Assembly Biosciences Inc. has selected ABI-6250, an orally bioavailable small-molecule entry inhibitor, as a development candidate to progress to IND-enabling studies for the treatment of chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection.
Researchers from Fudan University and affiliated organizations have reported the discovery of dual inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and tubulin polymerization as potential anticancer agents.
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading infectious disease killer. According to the World Health Organization, every year, more than 10 million people fall ill with TB, and 1.5 million people die from the disease. The thing is, though, that it could be worse. Not nearly everyone who is infected has TB disease. “Tuberculosis is a disease that targets a small number of infected people,” Igor Kramnik, of Boston University, told BioWorld.
Shanghai Yingli Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Fudan University has patented compounds acting as microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B) inhibitors and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-type 9 (PCSK9) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of alopecia, atherosclerosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, pulmonary fibrosis, hyperlipidemia, keratosis and obesity, among others.
Hangzhou Bio Sincerity Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. has identified histamine H3 receptor antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of pain, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsy, sleep disorders, obesity, eating disorder, neuropathic pain and itching.
