Advances in Therapeutic Antibody Discovery and Development Targeting G Protein‐Coupled Receptors
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral to numerous biological processes and are associated with various diseases across all therapeutic areas. Consequently, GPCRs present substantial potential for antibody‐based therapies. This review offers an overview of the therapeutic GPCR‐antibody target landscape and examines the diversity ...

Chemical Tuning Enhances Both Potency Toward Nrf2 and In Vitro Therapeutic Index of Triterpenoids [PDF]
The transcription factor Nrf2 protects against a number of experimental pathologies, and is a promising therapeutic target. The clinical investigation of a potent Nrf2-inducing agent, the triterpenoid (TP) bardoxolone methyl (BARD), was recently halted ...

Lanthanide affinity and selectivity in proteins remain poorly understood. Engineering calmodulin with a lanthanide‐binding tag at Site 1 boosts affinity from nanomolar (isolated LBTs) to picomolar dissociation constants, comparable to lanmodulin but with distinct selectivity.

The in vivo proconvulsant effects of corticotropin releasing hormone in the developing rat are independent of ionotropic glutamate receptor activation. [PDF]
Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) produces age-dependent limbic seizures in the infant rat. Both the phenotype and the neuroanatomic matrix of CRH-induced seizures resemble the seizures induced by the rigid glutamate analogue, kainic acid (KA), and ...

Optically pure, structural and fluorescent analogues of a dimeric Y4 receptor agonist derived by an olefin metathesis approach [PDF]
The dimeric peptide 1 (BVD-74D, as a diastereomeric mixture) is a potent and selective Neuropeptide Y Y4 receptor agonist. It represents a valuable candidate in developing traceable ligands for pharmacological studies of Y4 receptors, and as a lead ...

The primary mechanism for highly potent inhibition of HIV-1 maturation by lenacapavir.
Lenacapavir (LEN) is a highly potent, long-acting antiretroviral medication for treating people infected with muti-drug-resistant HIV-1 phenotypes. The inhibitor targets multifaceted functions of the viral capsid protein (CA) during HIV-1 replication ...

Discovery of potent KRASG12D inhibitors disrupting RAS-Raf interaction to block activation
The proteins encoded by the KRAS gene belong to the RAS family, with activating KRAS mutations strongly implicated in oncogenesis. The hard-to-target nature of KRAS proteins stems from their unique structural biology: a highly conserved spherical surface
