Drugging Drug Resistance [PDF]
Resistance to anticancer drugs is widely observed in vitro and in cancer patients, but its prevalence is too high to be solely explained by the acquisition of mutations. Sharma et al. (2010) now report that dynamic chromatin modifications may be an independent route to drug resistance in cancer cells that can be reversed by epigenetic drugs.

AbstractDespite their centrality to medicine, drugs are not easily defined. We introduce two desiderata for a basic definition of medical drugs. It should: (a) capture everything considered to be a drug in medical contexts and (b) rule out anything that is not considered to be a drug.

Drug-related mutational patterns in hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase proteins from Iranian treatment-Naïve chronic HBV patients [PDF]
Background: Immunomodulators and Nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness.

Deuterium in drug discovery: progress, opportunities and challenges
Substitution of a hydrogen atom with its heavy isotope deuterium entails the addition of one neutron to a molecule. Despite being a subtle change, this structural modification, known as deuteration, may improve the pharmacokinetic and/or toxicity profile
