Conditions:

Daridorexant (Quviviq™; Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) is an orally administered dual orexin type 1 and type 2 (OX1 and OX2) receptor antagonist (DORA) being developed for the treatment of insomnia. It was selected from a pool of drug candidates on the basis of an expected effect duration of ≈ 8 h at a dose of 25 mg, with a half-life intended to minimize residual effects that might impair daytime functioning. Based on the results of two pivotal phase III trials, daridorexant was recently approved in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance. The mechanism of action of daridorexant in the treatment of insomnia is presumed to be through antagonism of orexin receptors. The orexin neuropeptide signaling system plays a role in wakefulness. Blocking the binding of wake-promoting neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B to receptors OX1R and OX2R is thought to suppress wake drive.

Bexagliflozin, sold under the brand name Brenzavvy, is a potent and selective SGLT2 inhibitor. By inhibiting SGLT2, bexagliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion. Brenzavvy is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. The FDA approval on January 23, 2023 is based on results from a clinical program that evaluated the safety and efficacy of Brenzavvy in 23 clinical trials enrolling more than 5,000 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
PF-04965842 is an orally administered selective Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor. PF-04965842 is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Vonoprazan (Vonoprazan fumarate or TAK-438) under brand name Takecab, discovered by Takeda, is a new medicine for treating acid-related diseases with a novel mechanism of action called potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) which competitively inhibits the binding of potassium ions to H+,K+-ATPase (also known as the proton pump) in the final step of gastric acid secretion in gastric parietal cells. The drug is approved in Japan for the treatment of acid-related diseases, including gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, reflux esophagitis and Adjunct to Helicobacter pylori eradication in the case of Helicobacter pylori gastritis.
Trofinetide (NNZ 2566), a proprietary small molecule analogue of glycine-proline-glutamate [Glypromate®], is being developed by Neuren Pharmaceuticals and Acadia Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of brain injuries, fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome. Trofinetide is a synthetic analogue of a naturally occurring neurotrophic peptide derived from IGF-1, a growth factor produced by brain cells. In animal models, trofinetide exhibits a wide range of important effects including inhibiting neuroinflammation, normalizing the role of microglia and correcting deficits in synaptic function. Trofinetide was approved in March 2023 in the USA for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.
Ganaxolone (3alpha-hydroxy-3beta-methyl-5alpha-pregnan-20-one) (GNX) is the 3beta-methylated synthetic analog of allopregnanolone; it belongs to a class of compounds referred to as neurosteroids. GNX is an allosteric modulator of GABA(A) receptors acting through binding sites which are distinct from the benzodiazepine binding site. It has activity in a broad range of animal models of epilepsy. GNX has been shown to be well tolerated in adults and children. In early phase II studies, GNX has been shown to have activity in adult patients with partial-onset seizures and epileptic children with history of infantile spasms. It is currently undergoing further development in infants with newly diagnosed infantile spasms, in women with catamenial epilepsy, and in adults with refractory partial-onset seizures. Ganaxolone is a CNS-selective GABAA modulator being developed in three different dose forms (IV, capsule, and liquid) intended to maximize therapeutic reach to adult and pediatric patients in both acute and chronic care settings.Ganaxolone is a synthetic analog of endogenous allopregnanolone, which has been shown to be an effective anticonvulsant by restoring electrical balance to the seizing brain. While allopregnanolone’s anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety activities are well documented, allopregnanolone has the potential to convert back to its metabolic precursor progesterone, which could lead to hormonal side effects. Ganaxolone has been designed with an added methyl group that prevents back conversion to an active steroid which unlocks ganaxolone’s potential for chronic use. In preclinical studies, ganaxolone exhibited potency and efficacy comparable to allopregnanolone. Both ganaxolone and allopregnanolone bind to GABAA at the synaptic and extrasynaptic binding sites. Activity with extrasynaptic GABAA receptors are of particular importance for treating patients who developed tolerance to benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Ganaxolone binds to the GABAA receptors, which opens the pore to allow chloride ions to move into the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the inhibition of neurotransmission.
Tivozanib (formerly AV-951, KRN-951) is a potent and selective VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor and inhibits angiogenesis and vascular permeability in tumor tissues. It completed phase III a trial investigation for the treatment of renal cell carcinomas, but has not been still approved. In addition, this drug is in the phase II of clinical trial for the investigation it in patients with glioblastoma and colorectal carcinoma.
Sotorasib (LUMAKRAS™) is a RAS GTPase family inhibitor being developed by Amgen for the treatment of solid tumours with KRAS mutations, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer. Sotorasib is an inhibitor of KRASG12C, a tumor-restricted, mutant-oncogenic form of the RAS GTPase, KRAS. Sotorasib forms an irreversible, covalent bond with the unique cysteine of KRASG12C, locking the protein in an inactive state that prevents downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS. Sotorasib blocked KRAS signaling, inhibited cell growth, and promoted apoptosis only in KRAS G12C tumor cell lines. Sotorasib inhibited KRASG12C in vitro and in vivo with minimal detectable off-target activity. In May 2021, sotorasib was granted accelerated approval by the US FDA for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.
