Drug-induced long QT syndrome: Concept and non-clinical models for predicting the onset of drug-induced torsade de pointes in patients in compliance with ICH E14/S7B guidance [Minireview]

ASPET

This review details the onset mechanisms of drug-induced TdP, including I Kr inhibition, pharmacokinetic factors, autonomic regulation and reduced repolarization reserve. It also explores the utility of proarrhythmic surrogate markers (J-T peak , T peak -T end and terminal repolarization period) besides QT interval.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

BRAF and downstream mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitors are combined to treat BRAF-mutated melanoma, for example. Inhibiting KDM5A, a regulator of cell proliferation, poses another interesting approach. Available from: [link] 8.Boni Journal of Clinical Oncology [Internet]. Available from: [link] 9.Mohanty

The essential role of recombinant phage display antibody libraries

Drug Target Review

3 This change signals a major shift away from animal use in drug safety regulation and encourages the use of alternative methods like organ-on-chip or other animal-free technologies. Generation by phage display and characterization of drug-target complex-specific antibodies for pharmacokinetic analysis of biotherapeutics.

Deconstructing the Diligence Process: An Approach to Vetting New Product Theses

LifeSciVC

For KLK5 and KLK7 as well as their endogenous regulator (LEKTI, encoded by SPINK5 ) and one of their substrates (filaggrin, FLG ) there is evidence that KLK5 and 7 up-regulation is pathogenic and down-regulation protective in epidermal barrier dysfunction (especially for Atopic Dermatitis). in the case of CFTR for Trikafta).

SRP-001: redefining pain treatment with a safer, non-opioid analgesic

Drug Target Review

SRP-001 targets the central nervous system (CNS) by producing N-arachidonoylaminophenol (AM404) in the midbrain’s periaqueductal grey (PAG) region, crucial for pain sensation and regulation. In Phase I clinical trials, SRP-001 showed no serious adverse events among 56 healthy volunteers, highlighting its safety.
