Faster with high-speed fragment screening — Accelerate your drug discovery campaign
In the past, thousands of proteins were considered undruggable. The restricted number of chemical entities available and classical methods limited the exploration of this undevelopable area. Today, the combination of novel chemical modalities and advanced technical approaches has resulted in new clinical candidates from previously undruggable targets. To accelerate your drug discovery campaign, WuXi AppTec´s …Read More >
Unlocking the potential of DEL | Inspire Hit Discovery
March 4, 2020 – By going commercial, DNA Encoded Library (DEL) technology facilitates rapid discovery and provides access to more chemical entities at lower cost. Over the years, DEL has become a disruptive drug discovery technology in comparison to traditional high-throughput screening (HTS) where it allows expedition of early stage drug discovery. However, DEL platforms don’t succeed …Read More >
Enabling Technology for Targeted Protein Degradation
Summary Traditional small molecule therapeutic mechanisms have recently been augmented by a new strategy to specifically manipulate the levels of disease-related proteins. By employing bifunctional molecules, we can hijack endogenous cellular degradation mechanism for targeted degradation of a disease-related protein. Bifunctional molecules consisting of a ligand that binds to an E3 ligase, connected by a …Read More >
Establishment of KRAS-G12C inhibitor induced resistant tumor models enable the development of new generation KRAS-G12C inhibitors and combinatorial strategies
Activating KRAS mutations, including G12C and G12D, are detected in approximately 25% of human cancers. The most common KRAS mutation is G12C, which comprises nearly 15% of lung adenocarcinomas, 8% of colorectal carcinomas and 4% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas. AMG-510 from Amgen and MRTX849 from Mirati Therapeutics, both targeting the KRASG12C mutant, have shown encouraging results …Read More >
