Interactions of small molecule inhibitors with secreted phospholipase A2: A review of the structural data

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

To aid the medicinal chemist in the design of sPLA 2 inhibitors, this review selected four human sPLA 2 s and presented the characteristics of the bound inhibitors that are considered key for high-affinity interaction. Due to their roles in inflammation, the sPLA 2 enzymes are of much medicinal interest.

The future of cancer immunotherapy with Elicio Therapeutics

Drug Target Review

In this study , we demonstrated that AMP immunotherapy can boost TCR-T cell therapy by acting directly in the lymph nodes to promote the coordination of tumour-specific T cell responses by antigen presenting cells. This combination approach resulted in durable anti-tumour T cell responses and tumour eradication.
