Rakovina Therapeutics and NanoPalm Ltd. Sign Letter of Intent to Form Joint Venture Leveraging AI-Discovered Oncology Therapies and Novel Lipid Nanoparticle Delivery Technologies
VANCOUVER, British Columbia and RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. ('Rakovina' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: RKV) (FSE: 7JO0), a biopharmaceutical company advancing cancer therapies through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drug discovery and NanoPalm Ltd., a Saudi-based biotechnology company pioneering advanced patterned lipid nanoparticle (pLNP) delivery systems, today announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI outlines the intention to form a joint venture to co-develop novel small-molecule oncology therapeutics, beginning with loading Rakovina's dual-function PARP-HDAC inhibitor, kt3283, into Nano Palm's pLNP technology. The collaboration brings together two novel platforms: Rakovina's proprietary AI-enabled drug discovery engine, powered by an exclusive license to the proprietary Deep Docking™ platform, is capable of rapidly screening billions of molecules against validated cancer targets and predicting drug-like characteristics in silico, and NanoPalm's next-generation self-targeting pLNP delivery system, AI-designed to enhance the precision and efficacy of therapeutic delivery. Promising candidates discovered through Rakovina's platform and formulated with Nanopalm's pLNP technology will be validated through Rakovina's in-house pharmacology, toxicology, and in vivo models, creating a seamless path from in silico modeling to formulation to preclinical proof of concept.

Darwin Nunez leaves Premier League champion Liverpool for Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal
The Saudi Arabian soccer league has secured its latest marquee signing after Darwin Nunez completed a move from Liverpool to Al-Hilal on Saturday. The Uruguay international cost a reported 46.3 million pounds ($62 million) and has signed a three-year contract. Al-Hilal — Saudi Arabia's most successful team — has been searching for another star signing after releasing Brazil great Neymar in January. Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes rejected a move before the Club World Cup in June and there was also reported interest in former Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Nunez leaves Liverpool after a mixed time in the Premier League, where he produced some spectacular moments but could not establish himself as the Merseyside club's first-choice center forward. He scored 40 goals in 143 games and won the Premier League title last season. But he made only one league start from the turn of the year and scored just seven goals in 47 total appearances last term. In a summer when Liverpool has reinforced its attack with the signings of Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, along with reported interest in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, Nunez's position had been in doubt. He follows a slew of players who have left Europe's top leagues for Saudi Arabia since Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr in 2022. Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez are some of the high-profile names to make the switch as Saudi Arabia has mounted an ambitious recruitment drive to establish itself as a major player in global soccer. Al-Hilal, which produced one of the biggest upsets at the Club World Cup by eliminating Manchester City, already has a host of marquee players including Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Joao Cancelo and Alesandar Mitrovic. It is also coached by two-time Champions League runner up Simone Inzaghi. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter.
