Time for change: non-human primates in drug research

Drug Target Review

Non-human primates (NHPs), such as macaques and cynomolgus monkeys, have long served as a cornerstone in preclinical drug development due to their close genetic, anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans. Conventional models often fail to predict cardiac side effects, especially with biologics.

Chemical con artists foil drug discovery

Molecular Design

BW2014 has been heavily cited in the drug discovery literature (it was cited as the first reference in the ACS assay interference editorial which I reviewed in K2017 ) despite providing nothing in the way of practical advice for dealing with nuisance behavior. Given that M2003 had been published over a decade previously.

Data checks

The ChEMBL-og

ChEMBL contains a broad range of binding, functional and ADMET type assays in formats ranging from in vitro single protein assays to anti proliferative cell-based assays. Some variation is expected, even for very similar assays, since these are often performed by different groups and institutes.

Archbishop Ussher's guide to efficient selection of development candidates

Molecular Design

I’ll start the review of L2021 with annotation of the abstract: "Physicochemical descriptors commonly used to define ‘drug-likeness’ and ligand efficiency measures are assessed for their ability to differentiate marketed drugs from compounds reported to bind to their efficacious target or targets.

Separating the Hype from the Hyperbole Surrounding FDORA’s Alternatives to Animal Testing under the FD&C Act

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

Since 1962, the FD&C Act has authorized FDA to require that sponsors of clinical trials submit data from “preclinical tests (including tests on animals)” in order to demonstrate that their drug is safe enough to advance to testing in humans. FDORA § 3209(a)(2).
