Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

This method was more about serendipity than science. Today, we're able to identify and target specific molecules involved in disease processes—a method that's much more like using a sniper rifle than throwing darts blindfolded. One approach is to look beyond the traditional drug molecule.

Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

Groundbreaking strategies like proteolysis-targeting chimeric molecules (PROTACs) are also being explored. 6 Combining the effect of payloads with different mechanisms of action – an approach that revolutionised small molecule chemotherapy – also holds the promise of enhanced therapeutic activity for ADCs.

The power of combinations in blood cancers

Drug Target Review

These regimens frequently include one or two small molecule inhibitors and immuno-oncology (IO) therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and T-cell engagers. To bring us closer to curing cancer, a combination of effective drugs with non-overlapping mechanisms of action is required. References Blood Cancer UK.
