Three trends in the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) market 

Drug Discovery World

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceutical products in which a monoclonal antibody (mAB) is linked to a small molecule drug with a stable linker 1. According to NCBI, most of the ADCs developed so far are for use in the treatment of cancer, but there is plenty of potential for using ADCs to treat other diseases 1. A Nature publication confirmed that there are currently 12 FDA-approved ADCs on the market, and nine of these secured FDA approval in the past six years 2.

Synthesis, in silico and in vitro studies of hydrazide?hydrazone imine derivatives as potential cholinesterase inhibitors

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). In addition, molecular docking and ADME studies were carried out. Abstract A series of hydrazide-hydrazone imine derivative compounds (3a–k) were synthesized and their structures characterized using FTIR, 1 H, and 13 C (NMR) spectroscopic methods.

Plants can distinguish when touch starts and stops, study suggests

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Even without nerves, plants can sense when something touches them and when it lets go, a study has found. In a set of experiments, individual plant cells responded to the touch of a very fine glass rod by sending slow waves of calcium signals to other plant cells, and when that pressure was released, they sent much more rapid waves. While scientists have known that plants can respond to touch, this study shows that plant cells send different signals when touch is initiated and ended.
