Rugocrixan (also known by its developmental codes KAND567 and AZD8797) is a first-in-class, orally active small molecule drug candidate developed by Novakand Pharma (formerly Kancera). It acts as a potent, non-competitive allosteric antagonist of the CX3CR1 receptor, which is commonly referred to as the fractalkine receptor. By blocking this specific pathway, the drug prevents hyperinflammation and inhibits the proliferation and DNA repair mechanisms of certain cancer cells.

KAND567, a small molecule, blocks the fractaline (CX3CL1) receptor, which mediates the immune system response to inflammation. Because COVID-19 involves cytotoxic cells associated with this pathway, KAND567 is currently being tested as a treatment for those with the illness.

KAND567, a small molecule, blocks the fractaline (CX3CL1) receptor, which mediates the immune system response to inflammation. Because COVID-19 involves cytotoxic cells associated with this pathway, KAND567 is currently being tested as a treatment for those with the illness.

Key Clinical Developments and Therapeutic Focus

Originally acquired from AstraZeneca, the drug has advanced into multiple Phase II clinical trials. Novakand Pharma transitioned its core business strategy to focus heavily on orphan drug designations for niche, treatment-resistant conditions. Its primary areas of investigation include:

  • Ovarian Cancer: Evaluated in the Phase IIa “KANDOVA” clinical trial for patients with treatment-resistant ovarian cancer. It functions by suppressing DNA repair in tumor cells, which enhances the effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy and drives the cancer cells into programmed cell death.
  • Hematological Cancers: In preclinical studies alongside institutions like the Karolinska Institutet, rugocrixan has demonstrated a capability to block the unwanted growth-promoting effects of immune cells on advanced blood cancers, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
  • Cardioprotection: Investigated via the “FRACTAL” Phase IIa trial in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing angioplasty. The drug met its safety endpoints and showed signals of protecting heart tissue by reducing myocardial bleeding and the risk of thrombosis.

Companion Prodrug

Novakand Pharma is also developing a second-generation, water-soluble phosphate prodrug named fosrugocrixan (KAND145). Once administered, fosrugocrixan is metabolized into the active form of rugocrixan, offering enhanced product properties for intravenous or alternative delivery methods.

Because rugocrixan targets a brand-new pharmacological pathway, the World Health Organization (WHO) assigned it a unique suffix stem, establishing it as the international nomenclature standard for this entire new class of CX3CR1 antagonists

.xHCI

Compound 4 (1 .852 g, 5.74 mmol), DIPEA (1.1 12 g, 8.61 mmol) and D-leucinol (1.008 g, 8.61 mmmol) were dissolved in NMP (12 ml.) and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C in a sealed pyrex tube (start: 17:40).

HPLC after 15.5 h: ca. 98% conversion

HPLC after 19.5 h: >99% conversion

Work up: Ice water was poured into the mixture. Initially a solid was formed, but at the end of the addition the solid collapsed to a dark brown oil. EtOAc (50 ml.) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×25 ml_), and the combined organic phases were washed with water (8 ml_), sat. NaHC03 (3×8 ml_), water (8 ml.) and brine (8 ml_), dried over MgS04, filtered and evaporated. Dried in vacuum to yield 2.697 g of crude material as a brown oil. HPLC purity: ca. 92%. The oil was dissolved in MEK (ca. 18 mL) and cone. HCI (12.5 M, 574 pL, 7.18 mmol) was added. There was no spontaneous precipitation of the HCI salt. The mixture was gently stirred at RT and after ca. 20 min precipitation occurred. The mixture was stirred gently for 2.5 h and the solid was isolated by filtration on a P3 sintered glass filter. The solid was washed with three portions of MEK and was then dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 2.5 days. Yield (batch 1 ): 1 .224 g (48.5%) of the product as hydrochloride salt.

HPLC purity: 99.0% (basic method);

97.4% (acidic method).

A substantial amount of solids passed through the filter into the filtrate. The solids were isolated by centrifugation and the supernatant was removed by pipette. The solid was washed with two portions (ca. 2×5 mL) of MEK. After the last supernatant was removed the product was dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 2.5 days. Yield (batch 2): 324 mg (12.8%) of the product as hydrochloride salt.

HPLC purity: 99.0% (basic method);

97.5% (acidic method).

Combined yield: 1.548 g (61 .3%)

Both batches contain ca. 0.07% DMF (w/w). The DMF was already present in the starting material.

Further purification of the combined batches

The two batches of compound 5 were combined (1.338 g, 3.041 mmol) in a 50 mL roundbottomed flask and water (6 mL) was added followed by 2M NaOH (1.6 mL, 3.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred and EtOAc (40 mL) was added. An additional 0.5 mL (1 mmol) 2M NaOH was added during stirring. After 15 min all of the solids were dissolved and the phases were separated. The pH of the aqueous phase was measured with a pH stick =>pH=7. More 2M NaOH (0.4 mL, 0.8 mmol) was added to the aqueous phase resulting in a pH of 10. The aq. phase was extracted with EtOAc (25 mL) and the phases were separated. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2S04, filtered and evaporated to yield the free base as a crystalline beige solid. The free base was dissolved in MEK (15 mL) and HCI (37%, 12.5 M, 255 pL, 3.19 mmol) was added during stirring. A white precipitate was immediately formed. The mixture was stirred gently for 2 h and the solid was collected by filtration on a P4 sintered glass filter. The solids were washed with MEK (5 mL) and dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 3 h. Yield: 1.187 g (89% based on the unpurified material) of 99% pure product as a white solid. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD30D) d ppm 7.49 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 2 H) 7.37 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2 H) 7.27 – 7.32 (m, 1 H) 5.23 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 1 H) 4.60 – 4.70 (m, 1 H) 3.55 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 2 H) 1.83 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 3 H) 1.67 – 1.76 (m, 1 H) 1.58 -1.65 (m, 1 H) 1.48 – 1.54 (m, 1 H) 1.00 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3 H) 0.98 (d,J=6.7 Hz, 3 H). MS (ESI+) m/z 404 [M+H]+

The diasteromeric ratio of the final product reflects the enantiomeric ratio of the starting material (compound 1 ), which was 99.7% (S).

1H NMR: The spectrum looks very pure. Trace amounts of DMF were, however, detected.

Romaciclib is an investigational new drug being evaluated by Ryvu Therapeutics for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). It is a dual inhibitor of CDK8 and CDK19.[1][2][3]

Romaciclib is an investigational, orally bioavailable small-molecule dual inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19 (CDK8 and CDK19), being developed by Ryvu Therapeutics for the treatment of hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelofibrosis.

Mechanism of Action

  • Targeted Inhibition: Romaciclib selectively targets CDK8 and CDK19 to disrupt oncogenic transcription programs essential for cancer cell survival while minimizing off-target effects.
  • Oral Administration: As an oral pill, it offers convenience and supports long-term therapy compliance compared to intravenous treatments.
  • Combination Potential: Preclinical and clinical evaluations show it helps overcome resistance mechanisms—such as restoring sensitivity to venetoclax (VEN) in relapsed/refractory AML—and exhibits synergistic activity with JAK inhibitors in myelofibrosis models.

Clinical Development

  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Evaluated in the Phase II RIVER-81 study in combination with venetoclax, showing encouraging anti-leukemic activity and durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
  • Myelofibrosis (MF): Investigated as a monotherapy or combined with ruxolitinib in the Phase II POTAMI-61 trial

Romaciclib is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19 (CDK8/19), with potential antineoplastic and chemoprotective activities. Upon oral administration, romaciclib targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of CDK8/19, which prevents activation of CDK8/19-mediated oncogenic signaling pathways, blocks selective transcription of various tumor-promoting genes, and inhibits proliferation of CDK8/19-overexpressing tumor cells. CDK8/19, serine/threonine kinases involved in the regulation of the cell cycle, are overexpressed in certain cancer cell types and play key roles in tumor cell proliferation.

Rocavorexant (developmental codes INDV-2000 and C4X-3256) is a potent, selective, oral orexin-1 receptor (OX₁R) antagonist originally developed to treat opioid use disorder and other substance-related disorders.

Clinical development of the drug has been suspended. In April 2026, Indivior announced that it would not advance the drug internally for opioid use disorder because the Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial failed to meet its primary endpoint of “no treatment failure”.

Key Drug Profile

  • Mechanism of Action: Highly selective antagonist for the human orexin-1 receptor (pIC50 of 9.1) compared to the orexin-2 receptor (pIC50 of 6.0).
  • Target Pathway: Aims at relapse-related neural circuitry, anxiety modulation, and stress-induced addictive behaviors.
  • Chemical Formula: C₁₈H₁₉F₃N₈O.
  • Current Status: Suspended internally by Indivior, which is actively seeking external business development and out-licensing opportunities due to positive secondary data regarding abstinence and safet

Rocavorexant (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names C4X-3256 and INDV-2000) is an orexin OX1 receptor antagonist which is under development for the treatment of opioid-related disorders and other substance-related disorders.[1][2][3][4] It is taken orally.[1] The drug is under development by C4X Discovery and/or Indivior.[1][2] As of May 2026, development for all indications has been suspended.[1] The drug has reached phase 2 clinical trials for opioid-related disorders and phase 1 trials for substance-related disorders.[1][2][4]

Rocavorexant is the antagonist for orexin-1 receptor with pIC50 of 9.1 for human OX1 (while pIC50 for human OX2 is 6.0).

Rizavasertib was a drug candidate originally developed by Abbott (now AbbVie).[1][2][3][4] It is a pan akt Inhibitor.[5] It is now used as an akt inhibitor tool compound.[6]

Rizavasertib (also known by its developmental code A-443654) is a potent, small-molecule pan-Akt (protein kinase B) inhibitor originally developed by Abbott Laboratories (now AbbVie). It acts as a highly effective research tool compound used to investigate cellular signaling pathways, particularly in oncology and tumor cell biology

  • Mechanism of Action: It is an ATP-competitive inhibitor that targets all three Akt isoforms (Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3) with equal intracellular potency, showing an inhibition constant (\(\text{K}_{i}\)) of 160 pM.

Key Biological & Research Effects

  • Pathway Modulation: It induces a rapid, paradoxical phosphorylation of Akt at the Ser-473 residue, occurring independently of mTORC1 inhibition.
  • Mitotic Regulation: The compound interferes with normal cell division (mitotic progression) by regulating the expression of Aurora A kinase.
  • Oncology Models: In preclinical testing, it has demonstrated an ability to prolong survival in animal models of intracranial glioma and shows potential therapeutic relevance against both primary and drug-resistant T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).

Current Status

Rizavasertib’s highest global development status remains Preclinical. It is not approved for human use or clinical medical treatment and is sold exclusively by chemical suppliers like MedChemExpress as an analytical reference standard or reagent for qualitative, quantitative, and methodological research (such as HPLC, GC, and mass spectrometry).

To treat erythrocytosis in adults with polycythemia vera

Rusfertide is a peptide mimetic of natural hepcidin, which targets and degrades ferroportin, reduces serum iron and transferrin-saturation, and thus regulates the production of red blood cells. Rusfertide ameliorates the polycythemia vera, β-thalassemia and hereditary hemochromatosis.

Rusfertide is an injectable peptide mimetic of hepcidin (hepcidin antimicrobial peptide; HAMP; putative liver tumor regressor; PLTR; liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 1; LEAP-1) with potential use in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia and iron overload secondary to hematologic disorders. Upon administration, rusfertide mimics endogenous hepcidin, a protein primarily produced in hepatocytes, and increases hepcidin levels. As hepcidin plays a key role in the homeostasis of systemic iron, rusfertide may serve to normalize iron levels. Low levels of endogenous hepcidin are associated with iron overload secondary to excessive absorption of iron as seen in beta thalassemia and paradoxically with iron deficiency anemia.

Rusfertide, sold under the brand name Mimrylo, is a medication developed by Protagonist Therapeutics in partnership with Takeda for the treatment of polycythemia vera (PV).[1][2][3]

To treat dermatomyositis in adults

Brepocitinib (brand name Lisraya) is an oral, once-daily dual TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor approved by the FDA for treating dermatomyositis in adults.

Developed by Roivant (via its subsidiary Priovant), it is the first oral targeted therapy indicated to manage this rare, debilitating autoimmune condition. Brepocitinib, sold under the brand name Lisraya, is a drug which acts as a dual inhibitor of JAK1 and TYK2, and was developed for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.[1][2][3][4] It is used for the treatment of dermatomyositis.

Brepocitinib is an orally available, selective inhibitor of non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 (tyrosine kinase 2) and tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 (Janus kinase 1; JAK1) with potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. Upon oral administration, brepocitinib selectively binds to and inhibits the activation of TYK2 and JAK1, thereby disrupting TYK2 and JAK-1-dependent cytokine signaling. This may reduce inflammatory responses and prevent inflammation-induced damage caused by certain immunological diseases. TYK2 and JAK-1 are members of the Janus kinase family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases and are involved in signaling pathways affecting hematopoiesis, immunity and inflammation.

Rezuforimod is an experimental drug that acts as a potent and selective agonist of formyl peptide receptor 2 with an EC50 of 0.88 nM, which inhibits neutrophil adhesion and has antiinflammatory effects.[1][2]

Rezuforimod (also known by development codes AGN-232411 and AG-80308) is an experimental, first-in-class small molecule drug primarily being developed as a topical ophthalmic solution to treat dry eye disease (DED). It targets inflammation, which is a major underlying driver of dry eye symptoms and ocular surface damage.


👁️ Mechanism of Action

Rezuforimod operates through a targeted anti-inflammatory pathway:

  • FPR2 Agonism: It acts as a highly potent and selective agonist of Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2/ALX), binding with an EC₅₀ of 0.88 nM.
  • Neutrophil Inhibition: Activating this receptor successfully inhibits neutrophil adhesion and migration to the ocular surface.
  • Inflammation Resolution: By mimicking natural pro-resolving leagues, it shuts down chronic inflammatory cascades on the corneal surface rather than just suppressing the immune system globally.

🔬 Clinical Trial Findings & Efficacy

In clinical assessments, Rezuforimod has shown excellent potential as a localized therapy:

  • Dosing: It is formulated as an eye drop administered twice daily (BID).
  • Objective Improvement: Over a 3-month trial period, it significantly reduced corneal and conjunctival staining scores (an objective measure of tissue damage on the surface of the eye). The most pronounced improvements were recorded at Day 43 and Day 84.
  • Subjective Relief: Patients reported a notable reduction in daily ocular discomfort and an improved Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score.
  • Safety Profile: The drug has demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no serious drug-related adverse events, and no abnormal shifts in vital signs or systemic blood chemistry.

10-hydroxy-16α,17α-epoxyestr-4-en-3-one
GABAA receptor antagonist, migraine. PH 80, 2QA794326X

Refisolone (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names PH-80Salubrin, and ORG-39479), also known as 10-hydroxy-16α,17α-epoxyestr-4-en-3-one, is a vomeropherine (pherine) which is under development for the treatment of hot flashesmigraine, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).[1][2][4][3] It is taken intranasally as a nasal spray.[1][2][3] The pharmacology of refisolone has been studied and reported.[5][6] The drug is under development by Pherin Pharmaceuticals and VistaGen Therapeutics, with the former having been acquired by the latter in 2023.[1][2][4][3] As of December 2025, refisolone is in phase 2 clinical trials for all indications.[1][4] However, a phase 3 trial of refisolone for PMDD is also reported to have been registered in 2015, though its status is listed as unknown.[3][7]

Refisolone (developmental code name PH-80) is an investigational, non-hormonal pherine (vomeropherine) nasal spray currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of menopausal hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms), migraines, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Mechanism of Action

Unlike conventional menopausal treatments, Refisolone does not rely on systemic hormone replacement. It is administered intranasally at microgram-level doses to achieve a rapid, on-demand effect. The spray works by activating chemosensory neurons in the nasal cavity, which send signals to the olfactory-limbic and olfactory-hypothalamic pathways in the brain to regulate anxiety and correct body temperature neural circuits.

Current Clinical Status

  • FDA Status: The US FDA cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Refisolone, issuing a “Study May Proceed” letter to allow advanced Phase 2 trials to move forward.
  • Development History: The compound was originally created by Pherin Pharmaceuticals, which was fully acquired by Vistagen Therapeutics.
  • Clinical Trial Progress: A successful Phase 2a exploratory trial for menopausal hot flashes was completed in Mexico, showing that the compound was well-tolerated with no serious drug-related adverse events.

To be used in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone for adults with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent

Iberdomide is a modulator of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing cereblon (CRL4-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase), with immunomodulating and pro-apoptotic activities. Upon administration, iberdomide specifically binds to the cereblon (CRBN) part of the ligase complex, thereby affecting the ubiquitin E3 ligase activity, and targeting certain substrate proteins for ubiquitination. This induces the proteasome-mediated degradation of certain transcription factors, including Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3) which are transcriptional repressors in T-cells. This leads to a reduction of their protein levels, and the modulation of the immune system, including activation of T-lymphocytes. In addition, this leads to a downregulation of other proteins, including interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4), which plays a key role in the proliferation of certain cancer cell types. CRBN, the substrate recognition component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, plays a key role in the ubiquitination of certain proteins.

Iberdomide, sold under the brand name Zenbexus, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.[1] It is a cereblon-modulating protein degrader[1] and a thalidomide analog.[2]. It is taken By mouth.[1]

Iberdomide was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2026.[3]

Medical uses

Iberdomide is indicated in combination with daratumumab, hyaluronidase, and dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent.[3]
