Drug Target Review

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024

To achieve an aggressive timeline from DNA to investigational new drug (IND) application, drug developers have strengthened collaborations with contract development & manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) to expedite drug development.

This week: A way to measure a transgene’s expression in the brain using ultrasound, a DNA sequencing method that uses 1000x less reagents, and base editors get even smaller. An engineered version of this protein can convert DNA bases with efficiencies up to 92%. so this Digest will be published more irregularly.

In the case of semaglutide, those cells are Saccharomyces cerevisiae— also known as Baker’s yeast — engineered to secrete a peptide precursor that is later purified, chemically modified, packaged into an injectable or tablet form, and then shipped around the world. Continuing this method may not scale.

DNA sequences are designed on a computer, and it takes a dozen or more clicks to change a single nucleotide. DNA sequences are also checked by hand, so it’s easy to make a mistake. The tool outputs a DNA sequence that encodes all the required enzymes. Anyone who has tried to engineer a cell knows how tedious it can be.
