On October 18, 2021, Ipsen and Accent Therapeutics announced that they have reached an exclusive global cooperation agreement to advance the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of drugs targeting the RNA-modified protein METTL3
.
Accent's new METL3 small molecule inhibitor is designed to treat specific subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with high unmet medical needs
AML is a difficult-to-treat blood and bone marrow cancer.
Globally, the incidence of AML has been increasing year by year in the past 20 years
.
RNA-modifying proteins (RMPs) are a class of emerging targets that represent a new strategy for the treatment of various cancers
One of the most common modifications of mRNA is the methylation of the N6 adenine base to form N6-methyladenosine (m6A)
.
The methyltransferase complex METL3/METTL14 catalyzes this modification process
