Enmetazobactam
Enmetazobactam is a penicillanic acid sulfone extended-spectrum beta (β)-lactamase (ESBL) inhibitor. Because ESBL enzymes can hydrolyze important antibiotics such as penicillins, broad-spectrum cephalosporins and monobactams, ESBL-producing bacteria poses challenges in the treatment of serious infections. The combination product of enmetazobactam and cefepime was first approved by the FDA on February...

Morphine
Morphine, the main alkaloid of opium, was first obtained from poppy seeds in 1805. It is a potent analgesic, though its use is limited due to tolerance, withdrawal, and the risk of abuse. Morphine is still routinely used today, though there are a number of semi-synthetic opioids of varying strength...

Ibrutinib
Ibrutinib is a small molecule that acts as an irreversible potent inhibitor of Burton's tyrosine kinase. It is designated as a targeted covalent drug and presented as a promising activity in B-cell malignancies in clinical trials. Ibrutinib was developed by Pharmacyclics Inc and was first approved by the FDA in...
Approved
Tovorafenib
Tovorafenib is a selective type II RAF kinase inhibitor with anti-tumour activity. It was granted accelerated approval by the FDA, making it the first FDA approval of a systemic therapy for the treatment of pediatric low-grade glioma, with BRAF rearrangements. BRAF oncogenic mutations in cancers drive dysregulated cell growth, proliferation,...
