Researchers from East China Normal University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of new potent antiosteoporosis agents. Synthesis and optimization of a series of heterocyclic ring-fused derivatives of 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) led to the identification of SH-491 as the lead candidate with the most potent inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis (IC50=11.8 nM).
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.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes and chronic inflammation where current treatments frequently are associated with severe side effects.
Previous research has shown high expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1) in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231, suggesting the potential of ACE1 as a novel target for this disease. In the current study, researchers from Peking University Cancer Hospital presented the discovery of [68Ga]DOTA-BPP, a novel peptide nuclide molecular imaging probe targeting ACE1 for the imaging of TNBC.
Researchers from Technische Universität München and Universitätsklinikum Augsburg recently presented the discovery of novel radiohybrid-based minigastrin analogues.
Researchers from Uppsala University and Tomsk Polytechnic University have detailed the discovery and preclinical evaluation of [177Lu]BQ-7876, a novel prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting therapeutic for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Researchers from University Hospital Basel and Universitätsklinikum Ulm presented the discovery of novel radiotheragnostic candidates targeting C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), which is highly expressed in various cancers and has been linked to poor prognosis.
Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel peptide PET tracer targeting LAG-3, [68Ga]NOTA-XH05, being developed as a candidate for evaluating the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.
The discovery of new 68Ga-labeled CD38-targeted peptides for PET imaging was recently discussed by researchers from Peking University First Hospital and China National Center For Nanoscience & Technology.
