Inside The Altascientist: Understanding Drug Interaction Factors for Safer, More Effective Therapies

Alta Sciences

In Issue 7 of The Altascientist , we delve into these factors, the importance of drug interaction studies, and how to limit adverse effects and maximize treatment response. In some cases, these side effects could be life-threatening, such as drops in blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, or organ damage. The Altascientist, Issue 7, pg.

Challenges and Solutions to Drug-Drug Interactions for Clinical Development

DrugBank

The complexity of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, coupled with the variability in patient populations, makes predicting and managing DDI a particularly challenging aspect of drug development.  The most clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions are often those that influence drug metabolism.

Pharmacokinetics of panobinostat: Inter-species difference in metabolic stability [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Panobinostat is a potent pan-HDAC inhibitor that has been tested in multiple studies for the treatment of brain tumors. There have been contrasting views surrounding its efficacy for the treatment of tumors in the CNS following systemic administration when examined in different models or species.

Factors influencing the Central Nervous System (CNS) distribution of the ATR inhibitor elimusertib (BAY1895344): Implications for the treatment of CNS tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

GBM has a poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment, in part due to lack of adequate drug permeability at the BBB. Acknowledging the potential for inter-species differences in pharmacokinetics, these data suggest that clinical translation of elimusertib in combination with temozolomide for treatment of GBM may be limited.

Preclinical systemic pharmacokinetics, dose-proportionality, and CNS distribution of the ATM inhibitor WSD0628, a novel radiosensitizer for the treatment of brain tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Radiation therapy, a standard treatment option for many cancer patients, induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), leading to cell death. The objective of this study was to evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics and mechanisms that influence the CNS distribution of WSD0628, a novel and potent ATM inhibitor, in the mouse.
