Drug Targets

 

A drug target is anything within a living organism to which a drug is directed and/or binds, resulting in a change in its behaviour or function.

In experiments in rats and mice, two Johns Hopkins scientists -- an engineer and an ophthalmologist -- report the successful use of nanoparticles to deliver gene therapy for blinding eye disease. A uniquely engineered large molecule allows researchers to compact large bundles of therapeutic DNA to be delivered into the cells of the eye [credit: John Hopkins Medicine].

Possible adulticidal drugs for Onchocerca volvulus

21 September 2023 | By

This article discusses the need for adulticidal drugs to treat Onchocerca volvulus infections, a parasite causing onchocerciasis (river blindness), as the current treatment with ivermectin and surgery presents challenges for affected communities. It highlights research findings on the potential of analgesic medicines to target adult worms and emphasises the importance…

SH2 domains as a target class in cancer and inflammation

25 July 2023 | By Eurofins Discovery

New SH2 domain binding assays developed by Eurofins Discovery have been launched to support drug discovery initiatives in the protein-protein interaction space and in targeted protein degradation. We present small molecule case study data for important targets within this target class including STAT Transcription factors and Kinases.

Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

6 July 2023 | By

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a cutting-edge approach in drug discovery that offers a more precise and efficient way to alter cellular pathways, offering the capability to convert 'undruggable targets' into 'druggable targets.' In this article, Drug Target Review’s Izzy Wood interviewed Astellas’ Masahiko Hayakawa, Head of Targeted Protein Degradation,…

Promising human antibodies fighting SARS-CoV-2

1 June 2023 | By

Scientists have discovered that a vaccinated San Diego resident has produced antibodies that are effective against multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron. The research also identified three antibodies that can neutralise the virus, giving new insights into different binding mechanisms with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The findings could help to…
