Biochemical assays and deep cyclic inhibition in cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Molecular-level biochemical assays like transcriptomics, genomics and proteomics have emerged as valuable tools for identifying potential targets in cancer treatment through deep cyclic inhibition (DCI). How does the DCI mechanism compare to the design of other drugs for cancer treatment?

Structural Dynamics of the Ubiquitin Specific Protease USP30 in Complex with a Cyanopyrrolidine-Containing Covalent Inhibitor

Covalent Modifiers

We have integrated structural and quantitative proteomics with biochemical assays to decipher the mode of action of covalent USP30 inhibition by a small molecule containing a cyanopyrrolidine reactive group, USP30-I-1.

The peptide DR3penA exhibits antifibrotic activity in multiple pulmonary fibrosis models induced by particulate and soluble chemical fibrogenic agents [Gastrointestinal, Hepatic, Pulmonary, and Renal]

ASPET

Based on the druggability of DR3penA, we sought to investigate its effects on respirable particulate silicon dioxide (SiO 2 )- and soluble chemical paraquat (PQ)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in this study by using western blot, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, H&E and Masson staining, immunohistochemistry and serum biochemical assays.

Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

The mission of the CCDD is to discover novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and progress them to hypothesis testing phase 1 clinical trials. We often screen using a biochemical assay, but we can conduct cell-based screening as well. We need to build the assays that we need for compound screening.

SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Crowdsourcing, peptidomimetics and fragments

Molecular Design

While I’m not particularly keen on the use of the term ‘open source’ in this context, I have absolutely no quibble with the goal of seeking cures and treatments for diseases that are ignored by commercial drug discovery organizations.

Analysis Life Sciences Thank You Amid broader shift on LDT policy, FDA unveils pilot program for cancer drug-linked tests and diagnostics

Agency IQ

This includes treatments or therapeutics that are intended to serve a specific population that can only be selected (or excluded) via diagnostic guidelines, products for which a diagnostic could identify high-risk patients, and/or those that require monitoring for treatment adjustments. For now, LDTs are filling the gap.
