The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

For example, transcriptomic processes are showing the potential to identify and track failures in gene expression and gene regulation of amyloid and tau-related biomarkers, understood as precursors to the onset of Alzheimers disease (AD). A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological process, disease state, or response to a treatment.

Factors influencing the Central Nervous System (CNS) distribution of the ATR inhibitor elimusertib (BAY1895344): Implications for the treatment of CNS tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

GBM has a poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment, in part due to lack of adequate drug permeability at the BBB. Various DDR inhibitors, targeting the key regulators of these pathways such as ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR), are being explored as radio- and chemo-sensitizers.

The future of mental health treatment: Zelquistinel’s role

Drug Target Review

Neuropsychiatric treatment is on the verge of a major transformation. Neuropsychiatric disorders, affecting millions worldwide, disrupt the brain’s intricate processes of mood regulation, cognition and behaviour. The drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) are closely linked.

Mollugin Derivatives as Anti‐Inflammatory Agents: Design, Synthesis, and NF‐κB Inhibition

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Therefore, the inhibition of this pathway is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of various types of inflammation. Investigation of the mechanism of action indicated that 5k down-regulated NF-B expression, possibly by suppressing LPS-induced expression of the p65 protein.

The Novel GlycoPEGylated FGF21 Analog Pegozafermin Activates Human FGF Receptors and Improves Metabolic and Liver Outcomes in Diabetic Monkeys and Healthy Human Volunteers [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Pharmacokinetic half-lives ranged from 55 to 100 hours over the clinically relevant dose range, consistent with the expected half-life extension by glycoPEGylation. These findings provide evidence that pegozafermin is a promising candidate molecule for the treatment of patients with NASH or SHTG.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

BRAF and downstream mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitors are combined to treat BRAF-mutated melanoma, for example. Classically, rational drug combinations are designed to target two nodes in the same oncogenic signalling pathway.

Therapeutic Oligos 2025 Keynote Speakers Announced

Elrig

After PhD and postdoctoral work in the UK and Singapore, Prof Johnson received a prestigious Ramn y Cajal fellowship at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (Barcelona). There, he worked with the GENCODE consortium to establish foundational lncRNA gene annotations, which are considered a standard reference in the field.
