Silicon switch: Carbon–silicon Bioisosteric replacement as a strategy to modulate the selectivity, physicochemical, and drug?like properties in anticancer pharmacophores

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Carbon–silicon bioisosteric switch as a strategy to modulate drug-like properties of anticancer agents: molecular design, biological activity modulation, computational modeling, and structure–activity relationship studies. Abstract Bioisosterism is one of the leading strategies in medicinal chemistry for the design and modification of drugs, consisting in replacing an atom or a substituent with a different atom or a group with similar chemical properties and an inherent biocompatibility.

Struck-By Injuries in the Construction Sector: Common Hazards, Barriers, and Opportunities to Keep Workers Safe

NIOSH Science Blog: Drugs

Struck-By Injuries Struck-by injuries occur from violent contact or impact between an object or piece of equipment and a person. Struck-by injuries can be fatal, and even when a worker is not seriously injured can result in days off work to recover. To help prevent struck-by injuries, companies are encouraged to have a stand-down; a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety.

Four Trends That Will Pop the $250 Billion Gross-to-Net Bubble—and Transform PBMs, Market Access, and Benefit Design

Drug Channels

Time for Drug Channels Institute’s annual update on the gross-to-net bubble —the ever-growing dollar gap between sales at brand-name drugs' list prices and their sales at net prices after rebates and other reductions. We estimate that the gross-to-net bubble reached $223 billion for patent-protected brand-name drugs in 2022. If we include brand-name drugs that have lost patent protection and face competition from generic equivalents, the bubble was even higher, at $256 billion.

Current understanding and future prospects on Berberine for anticancer therapy

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Berberine has been shown in in vitro and in vivo studies to inhibit various types of cancer by activating the p-53 and cyclin-B expression, targeting various cell signalling pathways, to regulate the cell cycle. It also inhibits the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Besides this, it induces cell death by apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis in cancer cells.

The importance of drug solubility Today’s drug discovery environment demands efficiency, performance and safety. A crucial part of the process is the ability to perform ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism , elimination and toxicity) assays as early as possible in the drug development process. For example, researchers need to know quickly if a drug does not have the right toxicity profile before investing further resources and time in advancing it to preclinical and clinical testing.
