Recently, the team of Chiatai Tianqing and WuXi AppTec disclosed for the first time in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters the molecular design thinking of the novel CDK2/4/6 inhibitor – TQB3616 (Culmerciclib) and R&D history. Small molecule CDK4/6 inhibitors (Palbociclib, Ribociclib, and Abemaciclib) have been successively approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, of which Abemaciclib has shown fewer adverse effects in the clinic attributed to its superior inhibitory activity on CDK4 kinase than on CDK6. Therefore, the research team worked to discover pyrimidine-indazole molecules that are biased to inhibit CDK4 kinase and have some inhibitory activity against CDK2 and CDK6, and TQB3616 was the preferred molecule among such small molecules obtained by SAR screening. It was found that comparing Palbociclib and Abemaciclib, TQB3616 demonstrated different degrees of inhibitory effects on CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6 kinases, and a higher inhibitory capacity for CDK4 kinase [1]. The inhibition of tumor ...
The funding aims to reduce health inequalities in these groups and save more lives The Community Grants Programme led by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) has dedicated £600,000 to address the shortage of organ and blood donors from black, Asian and mixed ethnic backgrounds. The funding builds on the ongoing commitment by the government and the NHS to address health inequalities for individuals who need life-saving transplants or regular blood transfusions. The Community Grants Programme funds projects led by community, faith or belief organisations to provide greater awareness and support for donations, particularly among black and Asian communities. Furthermore, the scheme aims to inform and recruit more donors of black heritage to treat people with sickle cell disease, the fastest growing blood disorder in the UK, which is more prevalent in people of this heritage. The NHSBT is seeking applications to engage diverse communities across England and Wales and is ...

Precision in diagnosing and categorizing tumors is essential for delivering effective treatment to patients. Currently, the gold standard for identifying various types of brain tumors involves DNA methylation-based profiling. DNA methylation functions as a regulatory mechanism to control gene activity, essentially turning genes on or off. However, the time required for such testing can be a significant hindrance, often taking several weeks—a delay that can be critical when patients need prompt decisions regarding their treatment. Additionally, these tests are not widely available in most hospitals around the world. Now, a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been developed to classify brain tumors more quickly and accurately. Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU, Canberra, Australia) have created DEPLOY. This new method predicts DNA methylation patterns to classify brain tumors into 10 major subtypes. DEPLOY utilizes histopathology images, which are microscopic images of patient tissue samples. The model was trained and ...
On World Hypertension Day 2024, the second phase of the ‘India First Heart First’ Campaign was launched. Glenmark collaborated with gemstone carver artist Prithviraj Kumawat to sculpt a monumental human heart from a single stone of Rose quartz, a stone associated with the heart chakra which promotes emotional balance. This sculpture, standing 8 feet tall and weighing 3.5 tons, was unveiled on May 17, 2024, and was attended by cardiologists from Delhi and Jaipur, including Dr Deepak Maheshwari, Dr J S Makkar, and Dr Manoj Kumar. The event featured talks from cardiologists Dr J S Hiremath, Dr A Sreenivas Kumar, Dr JPS Sawhney and Dr Dilip Kumar highlighting the importance of heart health. Mr Kumawat spoke about his journey of creating the gemstone sculpture. Reportedly, 35,000 doctors from across India sent in their pledges to support cardiovascular disease awareness. Their signed pledge cards were displayed at the base of the ...

A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on April 25, 2024, entitled, “The price of hope: CAR-T therapy in pediatric leukemia.” We stand at the crossroads of medical innovation, where cutting-edge scientific discoveries intersect with the resilience of the human body, providing hope to families grappling with a diagnosis of pediatric leukemia. In this new editorial, researcher Alex Hoover from the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Division of Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation discusses the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) -; a groundbreaking development in the treatment of B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) (the most common childhood cancer). Following the pivotal ELIANA trial, tisa-cel was approved in the United States for the treatment of refractory or second or greater relapse of B-ALL in patients under age 25. This innovative therapy involves genetically modifying a patient’s native T-cells – immune cells with the ability ...
Don Tracy, Associate Editor Imdelltra (tarlatamab-dlle) is the first T-cell engager therapy approved for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Amgen’s Imdelltra (tarlatamab-dlle) for adult patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have experienced disease progression following treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. According to the company, the regulatory action was based on the promising response rate and duration of response (DoR) with Imdelltra observed in clinical studies. The action represents the first and only T-cell engager therapy approved by the FDA for ES-SLCS, and Amgen stated that further indications for the use of Imdelltra could soon follow.1 “The FDA’s approval of Imdelltra marks a pivotal moment for patients battling ES-SCLC. This DLL3-targeting therapy in ES-SCLC comprises a transformative option demonstrating long-lasting responses in pretreated patients,” said Jay Bradner, MD, EVP, research and development, chief scientific officer, Amgen, in a press release. “This ...
Rapport Therapeutics’ lead program could offer more targeted epilepsy treatment compared to currently available anti-seizure medications, which introduce many side effects. The IPO will support plans to develop the oral small molecule in focal epilepsy as well as chronic pain and bipolar disorder. By Frank VinluanRapport Therapeutics, a young biotech company with technology from the labs of Johnson & Johnson, is now preparing to enter the public markets to finance clinical research for a lead program that could help patients whose epilepsy doesn’t respond to currently available anti-seizure medications. Rapport’s IPO paperwork filed with securities regulators late Friday does not yet specify how many shares it plans to offer and in what price range. IPO research firm Renaissance Capital has penciled in a $100 million placeholder figure for the proposed stock offering. The biotech company, which is headquartered in Boston and maintains additional office and lab space in San Diego, ...
In a bid to solidify its footing in dermatology, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has announced that it will purchase the immune-mediated disease-focused biotech Proteologix in a $850m cash buyout, with the potential for additional milestone payments. The host of bispecific antibodies brought by Proteologix to the deal will add depth to J&J’s immunology pipeline, and more specifically, bolster its position to address atopic dermatitis (AD). Among Proteologix’s assets is PX128, a bispecific antibody designed to target interleukin (IL)-13, as well as the cytokine TSLP, which is being developed for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe AD and moderate to severe asthma. The acquisition also covers the preclinical stage candidate, PX130, a bispecific antibody designed to target both IL-13 and IL-22 to inhibit inflammation, restore the skin barrier, and prevent environmental trigger-mediated inflammation of the skin. The asset is under development for the treatment of moderate to severe AD. ...
