Challenges in Drug Discovery for Thiazolidinedione Substitute.
Thiazolidinedione (TZD) is a powerful insulin sensitizer in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It acts as a ligand to the nuclear receptor PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) and induces transcription of PPARγ responsive genes. TZD controls lipid synthesis and storage in adipose tissue, liver and many other tissues through PPARγ. Derivatives of TZD, such as rosiglitazone (Av...
متن کاملDrug Cocktail Optimization in Chemotherapy of Cancer
BACKGROUND In general, drug metabolism has to be considered to avoid adverse effects and ineffective therapy. In particular, chemotherapeutic drug cocktails strain drug metabolizing enzymes especially the cytochrome P450 family (CYP). Furthermore, a number of important chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, tamoxifen or procarbazine are administered as prodrugs and have to...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Cytochrome P450 Cocktail Inhibition Assay for Assessing Drug-Drug and Drug-Botanical Interactions.
Detection of drug-drug interactions is essential during the early stages of drug discovery and development, and the understanding of drug-botanical interactions is important for the safe use of botanical dietary supplements. Among the different forms of drug interactions that are known, inhibition of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes is the most common cause of drug-drug or drug-botanical interact...
متن کامل'Pathway drug cocktail': targeting Ras signaling based on structural pathways.
Tumors bearing Ras mutations are notoriously difficult to treat. Drug combinations targeting the Ras protein or its pathway have also not met with success. 'Pathway drug cocktails', which are combinations aiming at parallel pathways, appear more promising; however, to be usefully exploited, a repertoire of classified pathway combinations is desirable. This challenge would be facilitated by the ...
متن کاملText messages could hasten tuberculosis drug compliance.
The treatment for tuberculosis is a combination of strong antibiotics that must be taken daily for at least 6 months. But side-effects, such as nausea and heartburn, dissuade some patients from sticking with the treatment. Other patients endure the side-effects only to drop the medication once they feel better 1 or 2 months into the regimen. The Stop TB Partnership reports that on average 5% of...
