Composition for treating fibrosis

PCT designated stageWO2026024166A1Cosmetic preparationsHydroxy compound active ingredientsBronopolApproved drug
The p300 inhibitor specifically regulates the expression of genes that induce fibrosis, thereby acting only on fibrotic tissues and reducing the risk of adverse effects on normal tissues. Because the inhibitor blocks multiple fibrotic signaling pathways, it may be effective for fibrosis in various organs such as the liver, lungs, and kidneys. In addition, by modulating gene expression, the inhibitor has the potential to address the fundamental cause of the fibrotic process. The present invention is characterized in that bronopol is first identified as a specific example of such a p300 inhibitor. In particular, bronopol is an FDA-approved drug with established safety, and therefore is expected to reduce the time and cost required for conducting clinical trials.

Use of fty720 as a pp2a phosphatase activator for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type i

PendingCN122140677AOrganic active ingredientsNervous disorderNeurofibromatosis type ITumor cell apoptosis
The application discloses application of FTY720 as a PP2A phosphatase activator in preparation of a medicine for treating type I neurofibromatosis. The application first uses FTY720 for treatment of type I neurofibromatosis, and proves that FTY720 significantly inhibits formation of neurofibromas by non-specifically activating PP2A phosphatase. In-vivo experimental results show that FTY720 as a single drug can significantly inhibit tumor growth, and a synergistic effect is presented when FTY720 is combined with a MEK inhibitor, and tumor growth is almost completely inhibited. In-vitro cell experiments show that FTY720 as a single drug or in combination with MEKi treatment can inhibit tumor Schwann cells from forming tumor spheres, inhibit cell proliferation and migration, and induce tumor cell apoptosis. The application overcomes the drug resistance problem existing in the prior art MEK inhibitor, and provides a new treatment strategy for type I neurofibromatosis. FTY720 is an FDA-approved drug, and has good safety and drugability, and has high clinical conversion potential.

Curcusone diterpenoids and uses thereof

The present disclosure provides the first asymmetric total synthesis and target identification of the curcusone natural products. The novel convergent synthesis is built upon a cheap and abundant chiral pool molecule (8) and features a thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and an FeCl3-promoted global hydrolysis / adol condensation cascade to rapidly construct the critical cycloheptadienone core. By performing chemoproteomics with the alkyne probe 37, we identified the previously “undruggable” oncogenic protein BRAT1 as a key cellular target of 1d. Furthermore, 1d inhibits BRAT1 in cancer cells, thereby reducing cancer cell migration, increasing susceptibility to DNA damage, and inducing chemosensitization to the approved drug etoposide. Compound 1d is the first known small-molecule inhibitor for BRAT1, a master regulator of the DDR and DNA repair. Composition matters and methods of uses are within the scope of this disclosure.

Use of oxr1 as a target in the preparation of a drug for treating osteoclast-related bone diseases

This invention discloses the application of OXR1 as a target in the preparation of drugs for treating osteoclast-related bone diseases. This invention reveals for the first time the crucial role of OXR1 in osteoclast differentiation: OXR1 directly binds to the KEAP1 protein, promoting the interaction between KEAP1 and p62, thereby mediating mitophagy, clearing excess reactive oxygen species generated during osteoclast differentiation, and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Inhibiting OXR1 expression or function can effectively block osteoclast differentiation and reduce bone loss. Based on this, this invention provides two intervention strategies targeting OXR1: one is gene therapy using adeno-associated viruses carrying shRNA targeting OXR1; the other is screening and validating the novel use of the FDA-approved drug velpatasvir as an OXR1 inhibitor. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that both significantly inhibit osteoclast activity and improve the osteoporotic phenotype in ovariectomized mice.
