Chemoselective Covalent Modification of K-Ras(G12R) with a Small Molecule Electrophile

Covalent Modifiers

While small molecule inhibitors for the G12C mutant have been successfully developed, allele-specific inhibition for other KRAS hotspot mutants remains challenging. An X-ray crystal structure reveals an imidazolium condensation product formed between the α,β-diketoamide ligand and the ε- and η-nitrogens of arginine 12.

The evolution of cell therapy to address unmet medical needs

Drug Target Review

The mission of Lineage Cell Therapeutics is to deliver on some of the early promises of cell therapy. Cell therapy as a concept is a wonderful idea, but many of the early efforts never generated the kind of clinical data that gets people excited and leads to new medicines. Hearing aids also have all sorts of deficits.

The Future of Drug Discovery: Tackling the Undruggable with New Biotechnologies

DrugBank

These multifunctional small molecules are like tiny spies, hijacking the body’s natural protein degradation system to remove unwanted proteins. For example, PROTACs targeting STAT3, a protein crucial for tumor growth, have shown promise where conventional therapies have failed.

Design Considerations in Nonclinical Development of Cell and Gene Therapies

The Premier Consulting Blog

Designing an adequate nonclinical program to support the safety of cell or gene therapy products is not always straightforward. The cell or gene therapy should be pharmacologically active in the animal model. Biodistribution of the product (transgene/gene or cells) should be evaluated. How long does the study need to be?
