Denufosol for Cystic Fibrosis with Mild Lung Disease December 2009 Denufosol for cystic fibrosis with mild lung disease December 2009 This technology summary is based on information available at the time of research and a limited literature search. It is not intended to be a definitive statement on the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of the health technology covered and should not be used for commercial purposes. The National Horizon Scanning Centre Research Programme is part of the National Institute for Health Research December 2009 National Horizon Scanning Centre News on emerging technologies in healthcare Denufosol for cystic fibrosis with mild lung disease Target group a • Cystic fibrosis with mild lung disease (FEV1 ≥75% of predicted normal). Technology description Denufosol (Denufosol tetrasodium, INS37217) is a second generation pyrimidine that has agonistic activity on the purinocepter Y2 (P2Y2) receptor. Stimulation of the P2Y2 receptors on the apical surface of the respiratory epithelium activates alternative chloride channels and enhances mucosal hydration and mucociliary clearance through increased chloride secretion, reduced sodium absorption and increased cilia beat frequency. Denufosol is administered at 60mg three times daily by inhalation via a nebuliser and is intended to be used as a primary or adjunctive therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Innovation and/or advantages Denufosol is a new class of drug with a novel mechanism of action, which may help slow the deterioration in pulmonary function associated with CF. Developer Inspire Pharmaceuticals (originator). EU licensee to be determined. Availability, launch or marketing dates, and licensing plans Denufosol is a designated orphan drug in the EU and USA.

Clinical need and burden of disease CF is the most common life-limiting, autosomal recessively inherited disease in Caucasian populations, with a carrier frequency of 1 in 25 and incidence of 1 in 2,500 live births5. In 2006, approximately 270 babies were born with CF in England and Wales and it is estimated that over 8,000 people in the UK have the condition6 with just over half being older than 16 years of age7. In 2007/08, there were 6,760 in-patient finished consultant episodes of CF with pulmonary manifestations (ICD10 E840) accounting for 42,572 bed days8. a Forced expiratory volume in 1 second. 2 December 2009 National Horizon Scanning Centre News on emerging technologies in healthcare Overall, survival for people with CF has improved and approximately half of the population can expect to live over 35 years6. Most of the morbidity and more than 90% of the mortality of CF is related to chronic pulmonary sepsis and its complications4. In 2007, 115 deaths from CF were recorded in England and Wales, 70 of which had pulmonary manifestations9. Existing comparators and treatments • Airways clearance therapy. • Inhaled pulmonary therapy: o Bronchodilators: short-acting and long-acting inhaled beta-2 agonist. o Inhaled corticosteroids. o Inhaled mucolytics and recombinant human deoxyribonuclease. o Nebulised hypertonic saline. • Antibiotics. As CF is a multi-organ disease other therapies are used such as; pancreatic enzyme supplements, dietary advice, vitamin supplements and treatment for CF related diabetes.

We varied structurally phosphate and uracil moieties in analogues of pyrimidine nucleoside 5′-triphosphates and 5′-tetraphosphate esters. P2Y4 receptor potency in phospholipase C stimulation in transfected 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells was enhanced in N4- alkyloxycytidine derivatives. OH groups on a terminal δ-glucose phosphoester of uridine 5′- tetraphosphate were inverted or substituted with H or F to probe H-bonding effects. N4- 4 (Phenylpropoxy)-CTP 16 (MRS4062), Up4-[1]3′-deoxy-3′-fluoroglucose 34 (MRS2927) and N - (phenylethoxy)-CTP 15 exhibit ≥10-fold selectivity for human P2Y4 over P2Y2 and P2Y6 receptors (EC50 values 23, 62 and 73 nM, respectively).

  • A Comprehensive Map of Disease Networks and Molecular Drug Discoveries for Glaucoma Haixin Wang1,2,3, Yanhui Deng1, Ling Wan4 & Lulin Huang1,2,3 ✉
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A comprehensive map of disease networks and molecular drug discoveries for glaucoma Haixin Wang1,2,3, Yanhui Deng1, Ling Wan4 & Lulin Huang1,2,3 ✉ Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The molecular etiology of glaucoma is complex and unclear. At present, there are few drugs available for glaucoma treatment. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic analysis of glaucoma candidate drugs/chemicals based on glaucoma genes, including genetic factors and diferentially expressed (DE) genes. In total, 401 genes from the genetic databases and 1656 genes from the DE gene analysis were included in further analyses. In terms of glaucoma-related genetic factors, 54 pathways were signifcantly enriched (FDR < 0.05), and 96 pathways for DE genes were signifcantly enriched (FDR < 0.05). A search of the PheWAS database for diseases associated with glaucoma-related genes returned 1,289 diseases, and a search for diseases associated with DE glaucoma-related genes returned 1,356 diseases. Cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and ophthalmic diseases were highly related to glaucoma genes. A search of the DGIdb, KEGG, and CLUE databases revealed a set of drugs/chemicals targeting glaucoma genes. A subsequent analysis of the electronic medical records (EMRs) of 136,128 patients treated in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital for candidate drug usage and the onset of glaucoma revealed nine candidate drugs. Among these drugs, individuals treated with nicardipine had the lowest incidence of glaucoma. Taken together with the information from the drug databases, the 40 most likely candidate drugs for glaucoma treatment were highlighted.

    AHRQ Healthcare Horizon Scanning System – Status Updates Horizon Scanning Status Update: July 2013 Prepared for: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 540 Gaither Road Rockville, MD 20850 www.ahrq.gov Contract No. HHSA290201000006C Prepared by: ECRI Institute 5200 Butler Pike Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 July 31, 2013 Statement of Funding and Purpose This report incorporates data collected during implementation of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Horizon Scanning System by ECRI Institute under contract to AHRQ, Rockville, MD (Contract No. HHSA290201000006C). The findings and conclusions in this document are those of the authors, who are responsible for its content, and do not necessarily represent the views of AHRQ. No statement in this report should be construed as an official position of AHRQ or of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A novel intervention may not appear in this report simply because the System has not yet detected it. The list of novel interventions in the Horizon Scanning Status Update Report will change over time as new information is collected. This should not be construed as either endorsements or rejections of specific interventions. As topics are entered into the System, individual target technology reports are developed for those that appear to be closer to diffusion into practice in the United States. A representative from AHRQ served as a Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative and provided input during the implementation of the horizon scanning system. AHRQ did not directly participate in the horizon scanning, assessing the leads or topics, or provide opinions regarding potential impact of interventions.
