Pharmacokinetics of panobinostat: Inter-species difference in metabolic stability [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Panobinostat is a potent pan-HDAC inhibitor that has been tested in multiple studies for the treatment of brain tumors. There have been contrasting views surrounding its efficacy for the treatment of tumors in the CNS following systemic administration when examined in different models or species.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Susceptibility or risk biomarkers can detect the likelihood of a patient developing a disease or medical condition, which is crucial for treatments that are most effective before the onset of symptoms. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological process, disease state, or response to a treatment.

Translational pharmacokinetic-toxicodynamic model of myelosuppression for dose optimization in combination chemotherapy of capecitabine and oxaliplatin from rats to humans [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Mathematical modeling combining pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicodynamics (TD) is a promising approach for optimizing dosing strategies and reducing toxicity. The PK-TD model successfully predicted the time-course profiles of hematological responses in rats following monotherapy and XELOX combination treatment.

The future of mental health treatment: Zelquistinel’s role

Drug Target Review

Neuropsychiatric treatment is on the verge of a major transformation. Historically, treatment options have been limited, with patients relying on daily medications that have minimal efficacy and troublesome side effects. The drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) are closely linked.

The future of lymphoma treatment

Drug Target Review

We use hydrophilic linkers, which prevent ADC aggregation and generate highly stable ADCs, in combination with a unique attachment site on the antibody to create ADCs that retain pharmacokinetic properties similar to the original unconjugated antibody. This helps to maximize the targeted payload delivery to tumor cells.

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. Acknowledging the potential for inter-species differences in pharmacokinetics, these data suggest that clinical translation of elimusertib in combination with temozolomide for treatment of GBM may be limited.

Enthalpy-driven pharmacokinetics

Molecular Design

Controllability of exposure is the focus of pharmacokinetic optimization and I recently became aware of an exciting new development that will surely reshape the pharmacokinetic field and transform drug discovery beyond all recognition.
