TEAD proteins are crucial for tumour progression and drug resistance, making them an attractive focus for therapeutic interventions. Leveraging AI-guided structure-based drug design, Insilico’s research and development team generated an impressive portfolio of over 6,000 molecules and identified three highly promising hit series.

Breaking C-F bonds in drugs – metabolism mediated release of fluorine By Samuel Coe and Julia Shanu-Wilson Lenacapavir, recently approved for multi-drug resistant HIV-1 infection, contains 10 fluorine atoms. Increasingly used in drug design, some drug structures are now bristling with fluorine atoms.
