Why target GPCRs with antibodies? The G Protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily represents the largest and single most important family of human drug targets. GPCRs play a central role in a plethora of biological processes and are linked to a wide range of therapeutic areas including cancer, diabetes, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic pain. Expressed in every type of cell in ...
We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza ...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) usually consist of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs via chemical linkers. With high specific targeting ability and strong killing effect, it has achieved precise and efficient removal of cancer cells, and has become one of the hot spots in the development of anticancer drugs. In 2000, the FDA first approved the ADC drug Mylotarg ...
Compared to chemical drugs, peptides are physicochemically unstable, susceptible to oxidation and hydrolysis, prone to agglomeration, have a shorter half-life, have a faster clearance rate, do not readily cross cell membranes, and most cannot be taken orally. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out rational design of peptide drugs according to their advantages and disadvantages. ...
Rani Therapeutics Holdings (NSDQ:RANI), developer of a robotic drug-delivery pill system, generated $73.3 million in its underwritten initial public offering (IPO) of Class A common stock. The San Jose, Calif.–based company’s IPO of 6.7 million shares priced at $11 a share, generating gross proceeds of $73.3 million. The company initially targeted an IPO worth approximately $100 ...
A key hurdle to making adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid mediated gene therapy broadly beneficial to all patients is overcoming pre-existing and therapy-induced immune responses to these vectors. Recent advances in high-throughput DNA synthesis, multiplexing and sequencing technologies have accelerated engineering of improved capsid properties such as production yield, packaging efficiency, ...
In this study, a physiological-based mathematical model was developed to describe and compare the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) of nanoparticles after intravenous (IV), oral, and pulmonary exposure. The development of the model was based on physiological principles, compartmental analysis, and mathematical ...
Nanobiotechnology refers to the ability to create and manipulate biological and bio-chemical materials, devices, and systems at atomic and molecular levels. Nano delivery systems hold great potential to overcome some of the obstacles in bio-pharmaceutical production, such as water soluble/insoluble pharmaceutical drugs and cosmetic ingredients, risks of toxicity, increasing bio-active efficacy, ...
Abstract An acute exposure of two vanadate solutions—metavanadate and decavanadate—containing different vanadate oligomers, induces different patterns of subcellular vanadium distribution in blood plasma, red blood cells (RBC), and cardiac muscle subcellular fractions of the fish Sparus aurata (gilthead seabream). The highest amount of vanadium was found in blood plasma 1 h after (5 mM) ...
