Drug Discovery: drug discovery is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered. Historically, drugs were discovered through identifying the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by serendipitous discovery. Modern drug discovery involves the identification of screening hits, medicinal chemistry and optimization of those hits to increase the affinity, selectivity (to reduce the potential of side effects), efficacy/potency, metabolic stability (to increase the half-life), and oral bioavailability.
The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a sensitive, label-free technique that detects mass changes due to biomolecular interactions on a surface. This versatile method has been used to evaluate t...
Structure-based drug discovery requires expert designers, aided by software that integrates 3D structure visualization and molecular editing with multivariate experimentaland calculated prope...
In this interactive session, Derek Lowe will be taking questions from the audience in an informal discussion on his work in drug discovery, and his take on the current pharma landscape. Moder...
The process by which observations in the laboratory or the clinic are transformed into demonstrably useful interventions that tangibly improve human health is frequently termed "translation."...
