Re-Imagining Med Chem Strategies: the Tyranny of the n+1 Compound

DrugBaron

Finding small molecule drugs is much harder than finding a needle in a haystack – discovering the right arrangement of atoms to bind precisely to a protein target to elicit a particular response is a problem of vast dimensionality. Yet the situation with small molecules is even worse.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

4 Another related and well described non-oncogene resistance mechanism is the histological transformation of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to small-cell lung cancer upon treatment with an EGFR inhibitor. 5 Here, the original oncogene is still present but the transdifferentiated cancer cells are less dependent on it.

How GPCR agonists, including antibodies, are shaping the future of metabolic care

Drug Target Review

These include the use of immunogens that are highly expressed, are very immunogenic and are presented to the immune system in pharmacologically relevant conformations to generate appropriate antibodies. A suitable pharmacokinetics profile can be achieved with the addition of half-life extending moieties to the 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. 161 , 416–432 (2019).
