Analytical method to simplify the characterization of membrane proteins  

Drug Discovery World

Dr Sofia Ferreira, Director of Applications at Refeyn, discusses how various technologies can address the main challenges in membrane protein characterization, describing how novel technologies, such as mass photometry, can streamline and support analytical processes. Scientists use a multitude of membrane mimetics to overcome this issue.

Company launches ADC Phase I trial in solid tumours

Drug Discovery World

Dosing has begun in a Phase I clinical study evaluating BAT8008, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets Trop2. Key objectives of the study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumours.

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Biopharmaceutics is a scientific discipline that examines the interrelationship of the physicochemical properties of the drug, the dosage form in which the drug is given, and the route of administration on the rate and extent of systemic drug absorption ( Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, Shargel, Wu-Pong and Yu, 5th Edition ).

Osimertinib Resistance and EGFR Mutations in NSCLC Treatment

Bioengineer

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2

Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. All drug development processes evaluate a drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) to gather data about its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the body.

Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.
