Deconstructing the Diligence Process: An Approach to Vetting New Product Theses

LifeSciVC

Additionally, for illustrative reasons this is geared towards a single target / product focus vs. broader platform diligence, though many of these mental models will apply for selecting targets and indications for a platform. and whether a molecule’s pharmacology can help to mitigate safety risk. in liver, in CNS)?

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Investigational products with novel mechanisms of action are also assessed for safety in unique ways, creating complexities that can be more dynamically and effectively monitored using biologically relevant biomarkers. Trial design and statistical methods are also key to determining the utility and validity of biomarkers.

Sensory-motor neuropathy in Mfn2 T105M knock-in mice and its reversal by a novel piperine-derived mitofusin activator [Neuropharmacology]

ASPET

We further demonstrate that daily oral treatment with a novel mitofusin activator derived from the natural product piperine can reverse these neurological phenotypes. Here, we describe motor and sensory neuron dysfunction characteristic of clinical CMT type 2A in a CRISPR/Casp-engineered Mfn2 Thr105Met (T105M) mutant knock-in mouse.

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.
