Spirulina’s role in shaping the future of preventative biologics

Drug Target Review

With many healthcare systems prioritising cost-effectiveness, there is limited demand for novel treatments, even though they are crucial to combatting antibiotic resistance. Traditional biologics often involve recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells or microbes like E.

Anti‐Osteoporosis Activity of Lycopene Through ESR1: Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, Imaging Technology, and Experimental Validation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Network pharmacology and molecular docking were utilized to screen target proteins of LYC in osteoporosis treatment. KEGG pathway and GO enrichment analyses were used to observe biological functions of these target proteins. An osteoporotic mouse model was induced by ovariectomy (OVX).

FDA Issues “Cliffs Notes”-style Guidance on Cell and Gene Therapy; What Questions Did They Answer? (Part 1)

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

Where vector presence is detected, transgene mRNA and/or protein expression levels should also be measured. Next, sponsors should consider no-treatment control. FIH studies should generally employ staggered enrollment and treatment to identify potential safety issues before dosing the next subject.

Humanization of SLCO2B1 in rats increases rCYP3A1 protein expression but not the metabolism of erlotinib to OSI-420 [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Western blot analysis of rat liver lysates and microsomes confirmed higher rCYP3A1 protein expression in untreated SLCO2B1 +/+ compared to Slco2b1 -/ - rats. The contrary was observed, when microsomes isolated from treatment naive animals were assessed for the OSI-420 formation after erlotinib exposure.

Investigation on the antipyretic mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule for the treatment of fever based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro experimental validation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We used an integrative methods to investigate and elucidate the molecular mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule (CQQNC) in the treatment of fever. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of CQQNC in the treatment of fever. A total of 381 common targets have been crossed by CQQNC for the treatment of fever.

Matrine exerts an anti?tumor effect via regulating HN1 in triple breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Matrine inhibits TNBC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promotes apoptosis, and suppresses tumor growth through down-regulation of HN1 expression. Abstract The treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cannot meet medical needs, and it is urgent to find new drugs for intervention.
