Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

TPD is a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality to degrade a disease-causing proteins, thereby eliminating their function specifically. 1 TPD is expected to challenge undruggable proteins, which are highly difficult to target by conventional small molecules. How does TPD work?

Kinase-impaired BTK mutations are susceptible to clinical-stage BTK and IKZF1/3 degrader NX-2127

Covalent Modifiers

Therefore, understanding mechanisms by which acquired mutations in BTK confer drug resistance and developing new therapies to overcome resistance are critically important. We therefore set out to understand the nonenzymatic functions of BTK and explored targeted protein degradation to overcome the oncogenic scaffold function of mutant BTK.

How to Get Drugs Into the Brain

Drug Hunter

Obtaining adequate drug exposure in the brain is key to treating CNS diseases effectively. Recently, Dennis Koester gave us a crash course in CNS drug discovery in a Drug Hunter Flash Talk. Why Kp,uu is the Most Important Parameter in CNS Drug Discovery What Influences the Kp,uu of Drugs?
