Mining small-molecule screens to repurpose drugs
Repurposing and repositioning drugs--discovering new uses for existing and experimental medicines-is an attractive strategy for rescuing stalled pharmaceutical projects, finding treatments for neglected diseases, and reducing the time, cost and risk of drug development. As this strategy emerged, academic researchers began performing high-throughput screens (HTS) of small molecules--the type of ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase Inhibitors as Immunomodulatory Drugs
Los niveles intracelulares de nucleótidos cíclicos (cAMP, cGMP) tienen un papel esencial en la regulación de múltiples funciones de las células inmunes. Las fosfodiesterasas (FDEs) son un grupo grande de enzimas que ejercen un papel muy importante en la regulación de los niveles intracelulares de nucleótidos cíclicos. La pentoxifilina es un inhibidor no específico de FDE que tiene diferentes ef...
متن کاملOrganic synthesis toward small-molecule probes and drugs.
"Organic synthesis" is a compound-creating activity often focused on biologically active small molecules. This special issue of PNAS explores innovations and trends in the field that are enabling the synthesis of new types of small-molecule probes and drugs. This perspective article frames the research described in the special issue but also explores how these modern capabilities can both foste...
متن کاملSmall-molecule kinase inhibitors: an analysis of FDA-approved drugs.
Small-molecule kinase inhibitors (SMKIs), 28 of which are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have been actively pursued as promising targeted therapeutics. Here, we assess the key structural and physicochemical properties, target selectivity and mechanism of function, and therapeutic indications of these approved inhibitors. Our analysis showed that >30% of approved SMKIs ha...
متن کاملDiscovery of small molecule cancer drugs: Successes, challenges and opportunities
The discovery and development of small molecule cancer drugs has been revolutionised over the last decade. Most notably, we have moved from a one-size-fits-all approach that emphasized cytotoxic chemotherapy to a personalised medicine strategy that focuses on the discovery and development of molecularly targeted drugs that exploit the particular genetic addictions, dependencies and vulnerabilit...
