Drugging Drug Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2010
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.

On Drugs

open access: yesThe Journal of Medicine and Philosophy: A Forum for Bioethics and Philosophy of Medicine, 2023
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.

Deuterium in drug discovery: progress, opportunities and challenges

open access: yesNature reviews. Drug discovery, 2023
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
