Metabolism of 2022 FDA approved small molecule drugs part 2 Mixing it Up By Julia Shanu-Wilson In Part 1 of this topic we looked at metabolism of the small molecule drugs approved by the FDA in 2022 that were mediated by CYP3A4. Dermavant’s tapinarof is one such friend. We hope it was a useful two-parter!

Metabolism of de novo-designed macrocyclic drugs approved by the FDA By Julia Shanu-Wilson To date, only 4% (67) of FDA approved drugs are macrocycles [1]. Not only this, the reduction in rotatable bonds and consequent reduction in susceptibility to metabolism is an additional benefit [4].

In 2021, almost one third of FDA approved drugs contained at least one fluorine. This was surprising given that replacement of a phenyl with a pyrimidine and fluorination of aryl or heteroaryl rings are techniques often used to increase metabolic stability. Soloshonok.

Recent blog posts from Greg Landrum examined the impact of combining IC50 and Ki data from different assays. Clintox – This dataset consists of 1483 SMILES strings and two binary labels indicating whether a molecule is an FDA-approved drug and whether a toxicity outcome has been reported. I have a few ideas.
