PALAZESTRANT

New Drug Approvals

It is a small molecule with a dual mechanism of action, acting as both a complete estrogen receptor antagonist and a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). This means it can block estrogen receptor activity and also degrade the receptor itself, potentially offering a more effective treatment approach. ribociclib).

Shifting the ADC focus from antibody to payload

Drug Target Review

With an extensive background in small molecule chemistry, bioconjugation and protein science, these expert teams are leading efforts to place payload development at the centre of ADC innovation. The ADC itself is not necessarily a large molecule – it’s a small molecule with aspects of a large molecule, and vice versa.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Susceptibility or risk biomarkers can detect the likelihood of a patient developing a disease or medical condition, which is crucial for treatments that are most effective before the onset of symptoms. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological process, disease state, or response to a treatment.

A spatial approach to understanding drug dynamics using mass spectrometry imaging

Drug Target Review

Unlike traditional pharmacokinetic (PK) studies that rely on plasma measurements alone, MSI, when combined with traditional histology, enables spatial mapping of drug distribution, metabolism and target engagement. For instance, Cheng et al.

New drug triggers rapid cell death in cancer models

Broad Institute

This small molecule reactivates the apoptosis cascade in tumor cells while sparing healthy cells in animal models. Previous clinical and laboratory studies on other MCL1 inhibitors have suggested that these molecules can impair heart cells, likely because of prolonged exposure to the compounds.
