How to Accelerate the Synthesis of PROTACs: Strategies and Case Studies
Introduction: Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality due to its potential to develop therapeutics for previously undruggable targets and address the resistance issues of small molecule inhibitors. Central to this strategy is the novel protein-degradation approach represented by proteolysis-targeting-chimeras (PROTACs), which induce targeted protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). …Read More >
Leveraging Animal Models to Combat Drug Resistance in Cancer Therapy
Cancer, globally recognized as a significant threat to public health, can be effectively controlled in its early stages through chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, all of which inhibit tumor growth. However, an inevitable challenge emerges over time as tumors develop drug resistance, resulting in treatment failure. Unraveling the underlying mechanisms of resistance is pivotal in overcoming …Read More >
Progress and Challenges in Tumor Vaccine Development
Introduction: Cancer is a major public health concern, and this disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. There are over 200 different types of cancer, and such complexity has slowed the rate of progress being made by researchers. Encouragingly, the emergence of immunotherapies, especially tumor vaccines, brings hope to cancer patients. Personalized tumor vaccines …Read More >

OncoWuXi Express: In vitro and in vivo evaluation of an mRNA-encoded bispecific antibody (EpCAM/CD3)
Introduction: Nucleic acid therapies can regulate the expression level or activity of disease-related targets at the genetic level, offering advantages such as a wide target range, programmability, and rapid iteration. However, the wide application of nucleic acid drugs still faces many challenges, including delivery efficiency and off-target effects. To address these challenges, the Oncology-Immunology team …Read More >
Case Study: Clinically Relevant NASH Animal Model
In this case study, we demonstrate clinical relevance of the HFD+CCL4 (high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride) NASH animal model. Improvement of hepatic fibrosis has been a challenging endpoint in NASH clinical trials and selecting animal models that show anti-fibrotic efficacy has been equally challenging for the preclinical development of new NASH drugs. Our findings indicate …Read More >
Case Study: DEL Data Combined with In Silico Deep-Learning Model
Read our newest case study on enhancing predictivity of drug-target interactions. In collaboration with Cyclica, WuXi AppTec scientists engaged in a study to understand the synergies between DNA encoded library (DEL) screening and Cyclica’s MatchMaker™ deep-learning model for protein-ligand interactions. Our findings indicate that combining experimental DEL data with computational analysis from MatchMaker™ can lead …Read More >
