YL5084 is a Covalent JNK Inhibitor for Multiple Myeloma Research.

JNK is involved in regulating another mitochondrial protein cytochrome c during cell apoptosis. Specifically, Smac is the second mitochondrial-derived caspase activator, which promotes cell apoptosis by activating caspase. Without NF-κB In the case of activation, prolonged JNK activation contributes to TNF-α Induced cell apoptosis. Besides, JNK is also essential...

Urabrelimab (SRF231) is a Fully Human Anti-CD47 Monoclonal Antibody

CD47 (Cluster of Differentiation 47) is a transmembrane protein, belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It can interact with signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) which is an inhibitory transmembrane receptor present on myeloid cells. The interaction leads to different cell-to-cell responses, such as phagocytosis inhibition, cell-cell fusion stimulation, and T-cell activation....

Nanrilkefusp alfa is a Selective and Potent Agonist Fusion Protein of IL-15.

IL-15 is a cytokine involved in the regulation of the innate immune system. It stimulates the proliferation and activation of natural killer (NK) cells and memory CD8+ T cells. And also it promotes the secretion of a variety of cytokines. Moreover, IL-15 enhances the antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) of antibodies. Specifically,...

MS159 is a First-In-class NSD2 PROTAC degrader for Multiple Myeloma Research

Proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC) is a heterobifunctional small molecule, including two active domains, and a linker. Importantly, it can remove specific unwanted proteins. PROTAC is a technology based on the ligand binding of TAP and then the degradation of TAP. PROTAC provides an alternative approach to those so-called non-druggable...

Panobinostat is a Potent and Orally Active Non-selective HDAC Inhibitor

HDACs (Histone deacetylases) are a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from an ε-N-acetyl lysine amino acid on a histone, allowing the histones to wrap the DNA more tightly. This is important because acetylation and de-acetylation can regulate DNA expression. Acetylation is controlled by two antagonistic enzyme families:...

Oprozomib (PR-047) is an Orally Active Peptide Epoxyketone Proteasome Inhibitor

Proteasome inhibition has been validated as a modality in the research of multiple myeloma and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The proteasome is a multicatalytic protease complex that is responsible for the ubiquitin-dependent turnover of cellular proteins. Proteasome substrates include misfolded or misassembled proteins as well as short-lived components of signaling cascades...

Iberdomide (CC-220) is an Orally Active Cereblon (CRBN) E3 Ligase Modulator (CELMoD)

Cereblon (CRBN) is a key protein in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation. Specifically, it plays an intermediary role in helping immunomodulatory drugs play their immunomodulatory and tumor-killing roles. Besides, CRBN is highly conserved from plants to mammals, and mRNA expression in humans, rats, and mice is common. CRBN interacts...
