In their ACS Central Science study, Disney and his colleagues used DNA sequencing to evaluate thousands of
small molecules as potential
drug candidates.
Using computer simulations to predict which
drug candidates offer the greatest potential has thus far not been very reliable, because both
small drug - like
molecules and the amino acids of proteins vary so much in their chemistry.
RNAi therapeutics, peptides and
small molecules,
drug candidate progression to clinical development, R&D management.
Determining whether a disease - related protein can react strongly with a
small -
molecule probe or
candidate drug — in a way that alters its function — is often an essential first step in
drug development.
The
drug candidate is a synthetic,
small molecule inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3 - dioxygenase (IDO1) that also inhibits IDO1 in the tumor micro-environment to trigger immune - modulation.
An emerging strategy in early
drug discovery entails using fragments, i.e.
molecules smaller than conventional
drug candidates, as starting points for design of novel therapeutic compounds.
The Unit's scientific mission covers the design, synthesis, molecular modeling, as well as biophysical, biochemical and cellular studies of
small -
molecule probes and
drug candidates targeting nucleic acids or proteins involved in cancer.
Dr. King points out that a number of oral
drug candidates inhibit PKC - delta and that it may be possible to suppress PKC - delta production with microRNAs (
small RNA
molecules that help to regulate protein generation).
