In May 2024, several significant transactions worth millions and billions of dollars took place to advance next-generation neuroplastogens, KRAS G12C inhibitors, Pompe disease treatments, and molecular glues. We also highlight positive clinical readouts for hot targets such as tetrameric transthyretin (TTR) stabilizers, Hedgehog pathway inhibitors, plasma kallikrein inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP-1) inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Here's a recap of the most notable news highlights from May 2024!

This article highlights key patents published in September 2024, covering a range of therapeutic targets and mechanisms. It includes Nurr1 and Nur77 modulators for oncology applications, STAT3 inhibitors and CRBN-based STAT3 degraders for modulating STAT3 signaling in cancer, and CDK2 molecular glue degraders for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer resistant to CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors. Additionally, it features ERAP1 modulators for addressing autoimmune diseases, APOL1 inhibitors for APOL1-mediated kidney diseases, and novel NEK7 inhibitors targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

The team reviews hundreds of compounds from thousands of papers, press releases, and other sources each month to select candidates for Molecules of the Month. Here we have compiled a table of >70 additional molecules that were of interest in January 2024 along with highlights from some of our favorites, including molecules targeting SOS1, NLRP3, SMARCA2, and more.
