Generation and characterization of mirikizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23 [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Mirikizumab effectively inhibits the interaction of IL-23 with its receptor, and potently blocks IL-23-induced IL-17 production in cell-based assays while preserving the function of IL-12. In both local and systemic in vivo mouse models, mirikizumab blocked IL-23-induced keratin mRNA or IL-17 production, respectively.

Exploring alternatives to animal testing in drug discovery

Drug Target Review

1 Ethical concerns surrounding the use of animal studies is increasing, especially considering 90 percent of drug candidates fail in clinical trials. 2 Therefore, the scientific community is researching and developing efficient ways to test compounds without the use of animals, to avoid unsuccessful outcomes in clinical trials.

Accelerating Drug Discovery Through Repurposing

DrugBank

This approach capitalizes on prior investments in R&D, mitigates risk by leveraging established safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, and accelerates the delivery of treatments to patients. For example, researchers utilized gene expression data to determine the anti-ulcer drug cimetidine as a possible treatment for colorectal cancer.
