Antibody Drug Conjugates: windows of opportunity

Drug Target Review

These therapies have broadened treatment options for patients to expand beyond the more traditional small molecule drug alternatives. Patients and caregivers also assess the benefits offered by different therapies, weighing the progression-free survival with their off-target effects.

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)?

Advancing regenerative cell therapy development

Drug Target Review

What distinguishes Alder Therapeutics’ approach to regenerative cell therapy development from traditional methods, and how does it aim to reduce risks in the preclinical phase? Traditional approaches to regenerative cell therapy development are defined by several challenges. For manufacturing, it’s no different.

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.
