NRG is developing a pipeline of brain-penetrant small molecule inhibitors of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) with potential as first-in-class treatments for Parkinson's disease and motor neuron disease.
Using chemical genetic screening and pre-clinical model studies, researchers have discovered that inducing ubiquitin-mediated degradation of mutant EZH2 could provide a more effective treatment strategy for haematologic malignancies.
The length of time that drug molecules attach to their target protein varies greatly and impacts the protein’s behaviour and drug efficacy. In a new study, scientists in Finland have identified some causal factors for this variance, with the hope it will bring clarity for drug developers.
Sanofi and Exscientia will develop up to 15 novel drug candidates by leveraging the latter's AI discovery and optimisation platform.
In this latest episode, we discuss how small molecule discovery can be automated and how this process saves researchers time and money.
The new study identified PDZ-binding kinase (PBK) as a promising target for pulmonary hypertension and assessed two PBK inhibitors.
