SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates protein function through covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins. The process SUMOylating proteins involves an enzymatic cascade, the first step which entails activation SUMO ATP-dependent catalyzed by SUMO-activating enzyme (SAE). Here, we describe identification TAK-981, mechanism-based inhibitor SAE forms SUMO–TAK-981 adduct as inhibitory species within catalytic site. Optimization...
The surge in the clinical use of therapeutic antibodies has reshaped landscape pharmaceutical therapy for many diseases, including rare and challenging conditions. However, administration exogenous biologics could potentially trigger unwanted immune responses such as generation anti-drug (ADAs). Real-world experiences have illuminated clear correlation between ADA occurrence unsatisfactory outcomes well immune-related adverse events. By retrospectively examining research involving...

Renal impairment (RI) is a major complication of multiple myeloma (MM). This study aimed to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) oral proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib, in cancer patients with normal renal function [creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥90 ml/min; n = 20), severe RI (CrCl <30 14), or end-stage disease requiring haemodialysis (ESRD; 7). PK and adverse events (AEs) were assessed after single 3 mg dose ixazomib. Ixazomib was highly bound plasma proteins (~99%) all groups....
A novel liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)-based depletion method for measuring compound partitioning between human plasma and red blood cells (RBC) in a drug discovery environment is presented.

Biotherapeutics have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic efficacy across a wide range of diseases; however, their clinical application is often hindered by the development anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Traditionally, ADA monitoring has relied on ligand-binding assays (LBAs) such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) or electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA). Although effective, these methods require multiple washing and incubation steps, extending data generation time to several hours even days....
The microdosing strategy allows for early assessment of human pharmacokinetics new chemical entities using more limited safety requirements than those requisite a conventional phase I program. current choice evaluating is accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) due to its ultrasensitivity detecting radiotracers. However, the AMS technique still expensive be used routinely and requires preparation radiolabeled compounds. This report describes feasibility study with liquid chromatography-tandem...
This article describes the discovery of a series potent inhibitors Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). Optimization this benzolactam-derived chemical produced an orally bioavailable inhibitor PLK1 (12c, MLN0905). In vivo pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic experiments demonstrated prolonged mitotic arrest after oral administration 12c to tumor bearing nude mice. A subsequent efficacy study in mice achieved growth inhibition or regression human colon (HT29) xenograft model.
