Current and evolving approaches for improving the oral permeability of BCS Class III or analogous molecules [PDF]
The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) classifies pharmaceutical compounds based on their aqueous solubility and intestinal permeability. The BCS Class III compounds are hydrophilic molecules (high aqueous solubility) with low permeability ...

Urine Screening for Opiod and Illicit Drugs in the Total Joint Arthroplasty Population [PDF]
Introduction. Recent studies have shown an increase in post-operative orthopaedic complications associated with pre-operative opioid use. It is, therefore, important to know if patients use opioids before scheduled surgery.

The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

An empirical analysis of overall survival in drug approvals by the US FDA (2006–2023)
Background The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the use of surrogate markers in drugs approved for oncology/hematology indications. This has likely resulted in a greater number of approvals and possibly drugs coming to market faster ...

Mining of high throughput screening database reveals AP-1 and autophagy pathways as potential targets for COVID-19 therapeutics [PDF]
The recent global pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 presents an urgent need for new therapeutic candidates. Many efforts have been devoted to screening existing drug libraries with the hope to repurpose approved drugs as potential treatments for COVID-19. However, the antiviral mechanisms of action

The moving boundaries in starting materials: from small molecules to biopharma and ATMPs [PDF]
Several guidelines (e.g. ICH) define starting materials for a medicinal drug substance. While a consensus approach for defining the starting material in the synthesis of small molecule API is currently more or less being agreed upon due to the ...

Crosstalk between gut microbiota and tumor: tumors could cause gut dysbiosis and metabolic imbalance
In this research, we analyzed the relationship between gut microbiota and tumor. We discovered that both subcutaneous and metastatic tumors would alter the composition and metabolic function of gut microbiota. Meanwhile, fecal microbiota transplantation also indicated the anti‐tumor role of the gut microbiota, revealing the crosstalk between tumor and ...

Identification of Repurposable Drugs and Adverse Drug Reactions for Various Courses of COVID-19 Based on Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data [PDF]
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted almost every part of human life worldwide, posing a massive threat to human health. There is no specific drug for COVID-19, highlighting the urgent need for the development of effective therapeutics. To identify potentially repurposable drugs, we employed a systematic approach to mine candidates from U.S.
