Signal Transduction : an exciting growing area for small molecules drug discovery
Most protein functions associated with pathological conditions are mediated by protein conformational changes and protein-protein interactions. In terms of drug discovery, what counts is to find ways to modulate a target protein function, not to hit the protein itself. This means that partner proteins (upstream or downstream), which are able to control the function of a target protein, become t...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibition of Ligand-Stimulated RAGE-DIAPH1 Signal Transduction
The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) binds diverse ligands linked to chronic inflammation and disease. NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallization studies of the extracellular domains of RAGE indicate that RAGE ligands bind by distinct charge- and hydrophobicity-dependent mechanisms. The cytoplasmic tail (ct) of RAGE is essential for RAGE ligand-mediated signal transduction and...
متن کاملIP-FCM Measures Physiologic Protein-Protein Interactions Modulated by Signal Transduction and Small-Molecule Drug Inhibition
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) mediate the formation of intermolecular networks that control biological signaling. For this reason, PPIs are of outstanding interest in pharmacology, as they display high specificity and may represent a vast pool of potentially druggable targets. However, the study of physiologic PPIs can be limited by conventional assays that often have large sample requirem...
متن کاملCapillary electrophoresis and small molecule drug discovery: a perfect match?
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an analytical technique based on the separation of the analytes within a capillary owing to their different electrophoretic mobilities. It is widely used in pharmaceutical analyses owing to its versatility and high separation power. However, its penetration into the drug discovery scene has been relatively limited until recent years. Several factors have contri...
متن کاملShortening the drug discovery pipeline: small molecule high content screening for lead discovery in neglected disease
There is a pressing, global need for new therapies for neglected diseases such as Tuberculosis, Leishmaniasis and Chagas. Traditional lead discovery approaches, while effective have not been widely applied to neglected diseases as they are expensive and time consuming. At Institut Pasteur Korea, we have developed a core technology that enables the high content screening of hundreds of thousands...
