Compound 20 is a galactose-based monosaccharide Gal-3 inhibitor from Bristol Myers Squibb that shows potential in targeting fibrotic diseases.

The Sanofi S1P1 agonist, SAR247799 , is a biased agonist of the S1P1 sphingosine receptor, preferentially activating G-protein signaling over the β-arrestin and internalization pathways. Commercial S1P1 modulators such as fingolimod and ozanimod exert their immunosuppressive effects in multiple sclerosis and other diseases primarily by [...]

Context. Lenrispodun (Intra-Cellular Therapies) is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 1 (PDE1) inhibitor being developed for CNS and non-CNS disorders, including heart failure, and cancer. Studies to identify PDE inhibitors date back at least 30 years, and at least 10 drugs have been approved targeting other PDE proteins (spearheaded by the PDE5 [...]

Context. AZD4831 (AstraZeneca) is an oral covalent myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor being developed for heart failure. Almost half of chronic heart disease patients suffer from heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and have an estimated five-year mortality rate of 75% . Improvement in vascular structure could help these [...]

BI-0115 inhibits the C-type lectin family member lectin-like oxidized LDL-receptor-1 (LOX-1) by stabilizing an inactive tetrameric form of the protein. Interestingly, co-crystollography demonstrates that inter-ligand interactions between two BI-0115 molecules contribute to the dimerization of LOX-1 homodimers.
