Insilico Medicine Receives IND Approval from FDA for ISM8969, an AI-empowered Potential Best-in-class NLRP3 Inhibitor

By
Advertorial Desk
-
  • Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) paves the way for ISM8969 clinical study in the United States. The Phase I clinical trial aims to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics profiles.
  • ISM8969 is a novel oral therapeutic candidate developed through Insilico’s Pharma.AI, with best-in-class potential, unique brain penetrant traits, and favorable druggability profiles demonstrated in preclinical studies.
  • Insilico Medicine has entered into a co-development collaboration agreement with Hygtia Therapeutics, with both parties each holding 50% of the global rights and interests to the program. In return, Insilico is eligible to receive up to $66 million in upfront and milestone payments.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insilico Medicine (3696.HK), a clinical-stage drug discovery and development company driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), today announced that ISM8969, an orally available NLRP3 inhibitor targeting inflammation and neurodegenerative disorders, has recently received investigational new drug (IND) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), intended for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. 

The Phase I clinical trial plans to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ISM8969 in healthy volunteers, and to identify the optimal dose level(s) to be recommended for further investigation.

“NLRP3 has emerged as a key contributor to chronic neuroinflammation and disease progression in neurodegenerative disorders. A novel NLRP3 inhibitor, ISM8969 with the desired brain penetrant property made possible via our AI-powered design process, offers the potential to advance Parkinson’s Disease treatment to the next generation,” says Carol Satler, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President for Clinical Development, Non-Oncology, Insilico Medicine. “We are excited to get the greenlight from FDA to advance this novel therapeutic to human clinical trials, and we hope to induce a genuine paradigm shift with AI breakthrough in novel drug discovery.” 

Excessive activation of NLRP3 triggers overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, resulting in sustained inflammation and tissue damage. By inhibiting NLRP3, ISM8969 aims to modulate this pathological inflammation, supporting neuronal survival and function among patients with neurodegenerative diseases. In December 2024, ISM8969 was nominated as an orally administered, potential best-in-class preclinical candidate targeting NLRP3.

It is worth noting that ISM8969 was discovered and optimized using Insilico’s Chemistry42, the comprehensive generative chemistry engine consisting of multiple applications across the drug design and discovery stages. More importantly, with the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and reach the central nervous system (CNS) directly, ISM8969 establishes its distinctive advantage against CNS disorders including Parkinson’s Disease, apart from a balanced druggability profile and efficacy against inflammation in both inflammatory and chronic disease mice models.

To accelerate the global development of ISM8969, Insilico Medicine has entered into a co-development collaboration agreement with Hygtia Therapeutics. Under the agreement, Insilico grants Hygtia Therapeutics worldwide rights to research, develop, register, manufacture, and commercialize ISM8969, with both parties each holding 50% of the global rights and interests to the program. In return, Insilico is eligible to receive up to $66 million in upfront and milestone payments.

Based on its comprehensive portfolio empowered by Pharma.AI, Insilico has achieved dozens of collaborations with global leading pharma companies including Sanofi, Lilly, Exelixis and Menarini, and the three key license-out deals sum up to a maximum total contract value of up to US $2.1 billion.

Harnessing state-of-the-art AI and automation technologies, Insilico has significantly improved the efficiency of preclinical drug development, setting a benchmark for AI-driven drug R&D. While traditional early-stage drug discovery typically requires an average of 4.5 years, Insilico has nominated 20 preclinical candidates from 2021 to 2024, with an average timeline—from project initiation to preclinical candidate (PCC) nomination—of just 12 to 18 months per program, with only 60 to 200 molecules synthesized and tested in each program.

The Final Chapter of the “Three Kingdoms Trilogy”
Fusing Arts & Tech in an Epic English Showdown

HONG KONG, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection (AFTEC), dedicated to integrating the Bilingual Learning Theatre™ method into education, presents the Chinese literary classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, rich in timeless literary value and traditional virtues, on stage this March. As the final chapter of the “Three Kingdoms Trilogy”, Taming the Dragon brings the series to a perfect conclusion.

The production is directed and adapted by AFTEC’s Artistic Director Dr Vicki Ooi, a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hong Kong Drama Awards. Dr Ooi remains committed to her philosophy of whole person education, focusing on the development of bilingual theatre, youth theatre, and various arts projects that blend learning with experience. In Taming the Dragon, she interprets classic chapters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in English, ingeniously fusing arts with technology. The performance utilises multi-angle projection technology to present the majestic momentum of thousands of troops. By combining video with live performance, the production physically recreates strategic weapons such as the Oxen Barrows and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Accompanied by live percussion and bilingual surtitles, the show promises a visually and audibly thrilling experience for the audience.

Dr Vicki Ooi stated, “Taming the Dragon is not merely the final chapter of the Three Kingdoms story; it is a testament to the inspiring power of classic literature across eras. ‘From Page to Stage®‘ has always aimed to ignite students’ passion for arts and literature, creating a theatre experience that offers both educational significance and emotional resonance.” The “From Page to Stage®” scheme she leads has been supported by various sponsors, successfully gathering a professional team to continuously promote theatre education since 2009.

As the finale of the trilogy, Taming the Dragon tells the story of Liu Bei’s approaching end, with the fate of Shu Han hanging on Zhuge Liang’s final northern expedition. He engages in a battle of wits concerning life, death, and national destiny against his lifelong nemesis—the Cao Wei general Sima Yi. The play not only recreates historical scenes but also explores thought-provoking themes such as loyalty, trust, respect, and leadership qualities through the legendary duel between history’s two greatest military strategists, leading the audience to reflect on human nature and choices. The production will present legendary episodes such as “Entrusting the Orphan at Baidi City”, “Outwitting Jiang Wei”, the “Empty Fort Strategy”, and the “Later Memorial to the Throne”, immersing the audience in this ultimate game of strategy.

Since its launch, the “From Page to Stage®” programme has integrated education with drama, allowing students and the public to learn English and history in a relaxed and interesting way through appreciating adaptations of classic literature. The “Three Kingdoms Trilogy” fully embodies this concept, bringing the Three Kingdoms stories to life on stage and deepening the audience’s understanding of Chinese culture: the first chapter, Rousing the Dragon (2025), focused on the sworn brotherhood of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and their “Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage” to recruit Zhuge Liang, establishing the foundation of Shu Han; the second chapter, Strategy (2024), brilliantly portrayed the intellectual clash between Shu Han’s Zhuge Liang and Eastern Wu’s Zhou Yu, and their classic alliance against Cao Cao; the final chapter, Taming the Dragon, combines historical wisdom, dramatic art, and stage technology to push the entire Three Kingdoms story to its peak.

“From Page to Stage®” 2026 Taming the Dragon

Taming the Dragon will be staged at the newly renovated Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre Theatre, a venue with which AFTEC has established a 17-year venue partnership.

Additionally, a “Post-show Stage Tour” is available, where actors will guide the audience through backstage to understand the work behind the scenes and learn about theatre operations.

Erayak Power Solution Group Inc. Reports Surge in Demand for Portable Quiet Generators Amid U.S. East Coast Winter Storms

By
Advertorial Desk
-

WENZHOU, China, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Erayak Power Solution Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RAYA) (“Erayak” or the “Company”), a manufacturer, designer, and exporter of power solution products, today provided a business update regarding recent market demand trends in the United States.

Over the past several days, severe winter storm conditions across parts of the U.S. East Coast have coincided with a sharp increase in customer demand for Erayak’s portable quiet inverter generators. Beginning around January 20, 2026, the Company observed a rapid acceleration in order activity across U.S. e-commerce channels serving end users preparing for potential power outages.

During this period, daily unit sales increased by more than twenty times compared to the Company’s average daily unit sales in the preceding weeks, with aggregate shipments across the Company’s key portable inverter generator models approaching 1,000 units over a two-day period. The Company believes this surge reflects heightened consumer preparedness in response to extreme winter weather events and associated grid reliability concerns.

As a result of the accelerated sales activity, certain U.S. inventory positions have tightened. Erayak is actively coordinating with its supply chain partners to expedite replenishment, including accelerating production schedules and prioritizing inbound logistics. There can be no assurance that inventory levels will be sufficient to fully meet ongoing demand, particularly if adverse weather conditions persist.

Looking ahead, Erayak continues to advance its product roadmap for the North American market. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company plans to introduce additional home emergency power solutions, including gasoline inverter generators in the approximately 4 kW to 13 kW range and multi-fuel generator models. Subject to production readiness, regulatory certifications, and market conditions, these products are currently expected to enter the U.S. market during the second quarter of 2026.

In parallel, as the Company’s U.S. sales channels continue to mature, Erayak is evaluating selective opportunities to expand into adjacent, power-dependent product categories that closely align with its core power-generation expertise and customer base. These categories may include home and outdoor equipment used in emergency and off-grid scenarios, such as pressure washers, electric or gas-powered chainsaws, and certain camping-related equipment. Any such evaluation is expected to follow a disciplined approach, with emphasis on engineering relevance, product reliability, and long-term portfolio coherence, rather than broad or opportunistic category expansion.

In connection with these developments, Lingyi Kong, CEO and Chairman of Erayak, commented:

“Since formally expanding into the U.S. market in 2024, we have been encouraged by the strong market response to Erayak products across U.S. e-commerce channels. During 2025, these channels demonstrated meaningful sales momentum, providing clear validation of customer demand patterns and product-market fit in the U.S.

This market feedback has helped guide our decisions around product portfolio expansion and capacity planning, particularly in home emergency power solutions. At the same time, we are accelerating the development of new industrial facilities through our subsidiary, Ruike Electronics. Over time, these initiatives may enhance our manufacturing capabilities for higher-output generator products and may provide opportunities to improve cost efficiency.

As these projects move through development, introduction, and production phases, and as we continue to actively expand our sales channels, we expect to pursue additional growth opportunities. However, the scale, pace, and ultimate impact of such expansion will depend on market conditions, execution progress, and external demand dynamics.”

About Erayak Power Solution Group Inc.

Erayak specializes in the manufacturing, research and development, and wholesale and retail of power solution products. Erayak’s product portfolio includes sine wave and off-grid inverters, inverter and gasoline generators, battery and smart chargers, and custom-designed products. Our products are used principally in agricultural and industrial vehicles, recreational vehicles, electrical appliances, and outdoor living products. Our goal is to be the premier power solutions brand and a solution for mobile life and outdoor living. For more information, visit www.erayakpower.com.

Huawei Cloud is demonstrating this support for rewarding partners by fully upgrading its partner incentive framework this year.

The upgrade consists of four pillars of support that Huawei Cloud will provide partners to foster their holistic growth. These four pillars are namely: amplifying partner voices on Huawei Cloud’s global media matrix, helping partners improve their brand image using over 50 global benchmarks for key communication, upgrading partner benefits such as a bigger Market Development Fund and full support of their promotions, and finally inviting partners to participate in Huawei Cloud’s own global marketing activities.

Huawei Cloud will bolster partner enablement with a tailored system, from strategic insights to sales practices, designed for various roles.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO), a company specializing in AI-driven autonomous systems, today announced a three-year Gold Reseller Agreement with The Ghazi Group (“TGG”), a full-stack AI infrastructure and solutions provider. The agreement grants Robo.ai Gold Reseller status to distribute TGG’s edge inference servers for fully autonomous vehicles, advanced CPU and GPU server systems, as well as storage and networking systems across the MENA and selected Southeast Asian markets. The partnership is underpinned by Robo.ai’s regional integration capabilities, regulatory familiarity, and existing enterprise deployment footprint in the covered markets, addressing the high growth, high potential AI infrastructure demand.

In 2026, the Asia Pacific (APAC) edge AI market is projected to reach approximately $6.0 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.8%. The Middle East & Africa (MEA) edge AI market, while currently smaller at an estimated $3.1 billion for the same period, is experiencing rapid growth driven largely by strategic national investments, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The partnership between Robo.ai and TGG is positioned to capture a share of this growth, creating a revenue opportunity exceeding $100 million in MENA and Southeast Asia.

This partnership fundamentally transforms Robo.ai’s role from an AI robotic platform to a critical ‘compute gateway’ for enterprise and sovereign AI deployment.  By accessing to essential AI infrastructure, Robo.ai is positioned at the strategic intersection of AI software, robotics, and the underlying compute architecture required for large-scale implementation.

Shafi Khan, President and CEO of The Ghazi Group stated, “We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Robo.ai to accelerate breakthrough innovation in fully autonomous mobility and support Robo.ai’s initiative to become the first Made-in-UAE fully autonomous vehicle manufacturer, and to become a leader in the smart open machine economy. We are committed to supporting our clients and our partners in this unique and strategic market.”

Robo.ai CEO Benjamin Zhai stated: “In an era of rapid technological and geopolitical change, Robo.ai has been forging its own path of evolution. Our strategic focus on the AI machine economy is proving its merit. We also recognize that even the best products and R&D cannot stand without foundational infrastructure and compute power. This partnership with TGG is a milestone in building Robo.ai’s strategic moat and solidifying our operational foundation.”

The collaboration is designed to generate a recurring revenue stream tied to the complete AI deployment lifecycle. Revenue will be driven not only by hardware but also by associated system integration, software licensing, and long-term technical support and service contracts. This model aligns Robo.ai’s success directly with the scaling and maintenance of its clients’ AI capabilities.
