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.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

As pharmacological indicators, biomarkers overcome the static nature of traditional in vitro cellular studies by providing more dynamic models of pharmacokinetic processes that reflect active biological mechanisms. Trial design and statistical methods are also key to determining the utility and validity of biomarkers.

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.

Pramlintide an Adjunct to Insulin Therapy: Challenges and Recent progress in delivery [Minireview]

ASPET

While marketed insulin formulations generally demonstrate a peak action in 60-90 min, Pramlintide elicits its peak concentration at around 20-30 min after administration.
