New drug triggers rapid cell death in cancer models

Broad Institute

Previous clinical and laboratory studies on other MCL1 inhibitors have suggested that these molecules can impair heart cells, likely because of prolonged exposure to the compounds. The compound inhibited the growth of a broad range of cancer models, including breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, and leukemia.

Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Toxicokinetics Demystified

Alta Sciences

Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Toxicokinetics Demystified pmjackson Wed, 01/31/2024 - 14:55 Understanding the effects of a drug, and how it interacts with the body, and vice versa, is critical to ensure it is safe for human use. This is where pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) , and toxicokinetic (TK) analyses step in.

De-risking drug discovery with predictive AI

Broad Institute

Together, the tools estimate how a drug may impact diverse outcomes of interest to drug developers: general cellular health, pharmacokinetics, and heart and liver function. Drug developers also assess pharmacokinetic effects, or how an organism absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and clears a drug. A fourth is in the works.
