Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

1 TPD is expected to challenge undruggable proteins, which are highly difficult to target by conventional small molecules. 1 The concept of TPD was first demonstrated with a heterobifunctional small molecule to degrader a protein of interest in the early 2000s.

Demystifying the ICH M10 Bioanalytical Method Validation Guidelines

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

Developing pharmaceuticals is a complex process, requiring stringent bioanalytical method validation guidelines to ensure drug safety and efficacy. To help integrate these various regulatory standards, the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use was founded in 2016.

Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

One approach is to look beyond the traditional drug molecule. Researchers are experimenting with biologics—larger biological molecules that can do things small molecules can't, like targeting larger, more complex structures on cell surfaces or even inside cells.

Therapeutic frontiers: the potential of RRx-001 and AdAPT-001

Drug Target Review

However, in tissues where the 3 Hs are not present, the small molecule has anti-toxicity activity through 1) direct inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome, an inflammation starter and perpetuator, and 2) upregulation of the master antioxidant transcription factor, Nrf2.
