Targeted protein degradation exemplified by PROTACs is an emerging strategy for drug discovery

2023-07-11

Page View：

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) exemplified by PROTACs is an emerging strategy for next generation drug discovery. Threonine tyrosine kinase (TTK) is a dual-specific protein kinase that catalyzes phosphorylation of both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. Researchers designed and synthesized TTK PROTACs, which demonstrated reasonable pharmacokinetic profiles. All the pharmacokinetic studies were carried out by Medicilon, according to the protocols and guidelines of the institutional care and use committee.

Discovery and synthesis of a new class of selective TNIK inhibitors and evaluation of their anti-colorectal cancer effects, the pharmacokinetic properties was carried out by Medicilon

2023-07-11

The Traf2- and Nck-interacting protein kinase (TNIK) is a downstream signal protein of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and has been thought of as a potential target for the treatment of colorectal cancer. SAR analysis leads to the identification of a number of potent TNIK inhibitors with Compound 21k being the most active one. Preliminary assessment for the pharmacokinetic properties of Compound 21k was carried out through services provided by Medicilon.

SLL-1206 is a kappa opioid receptor agonist with substantially improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties

2023-07-11

The search for selective kappa opioid receptor (κOR) agonists with an improved safety profile is an area of interest in opioid research. SLL-1206 is a κOR agonist with single-digit nanomolar activities. SLL-1206 exhibits substantially improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, and reduces central nervous system effects. The authors are grateful to Medicilon Preclinical Research LLC. for pharmacokinetic studies on SLL-1206.

ARD-2585 is an orally active PROTAC degrader of androgen receptor for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer

2023-07-11

A PROTAC-based androgen receptor (AR) degrader is a bifunctional small molecule, consisting of an AR ligand that binds to AR protein, and a ligand that binds to and recruits an E3 ligase complex, tethered together through a linker. Researchers report the discovery of exceptionally potent and orally bioavailable PROTAC AR degrader ARD-2585 (Compound 43). ARD-2585 is a promising AR degrader for extensive investigations for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. The liver microsomal stability assay was performed by Medicilon. The plasma stability assay was performed by Medicilon. The hERG assay was performed by Medicilon.
