  • Systems Level Characterizations of Single and Combination Drug Mechanisms of Action in Vitro and in Vivo
    Systems Level Characterizations of Single and Combination Drug Mechanisms of Action in vitro and in vivo By Justin Pritchard B.S. Biology University of California Los Angeles, 2006 SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN BIOLOGY AT THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY June 2012 © Massachusetts Institute of Technology All Rights Reserved Signature of Author…………………………………………………….Justin Pritchard Thesis Advisor………………………………………………………….Michael T. Hemann Thesis Advisor………………………………………………………….Douglas A. Lauffenburger Graduate Chair………………………………………………………….Stephen Bell 1 Systems Level Characterizations of Single and Combination Drug Mechanisms of Action in vitro and in vivo Justin Pritchard Submitted to the Department of Biology on April 30, 2012 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology Abstract Small molecule characterization is a critical limiting step in cancer drug development. At the present time, high throughput screens of natural products and combinatorial synthesis libraries generate more pharmaceutical leads than can be characterized in detail. Lead optimization further generates many derivatives of these cytotoxic hits in an attempt to generate optimized compounds with better physical or chemical properties. This leaves many promising agents stranded in drug development and poorly characterized. In addition, most small molecules interact biochemically with a diverse set of proteins. While characterizing the diversity of biochemical interactions that can occur is important to understanding function, only a subset are likely to be necessary or sufficient for therapeutic efficacy. In light of this diversity, the functional characterization of the mechanisms of cell death by cytotoxic agents should improve drug discovery by allowing for the early prioritization of cytotoxic leads, derivatized compounds, and targeted inhibitors on the basis of the mechanisms by which they cause death in intact cells.

Horbachevsky, Ternopil 46001, Ukraine Abstract: The pharmaceutical market of Ukraine in January 2015 was registered 71 drug based acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), for which 52% combined. The most common combinations of ASA with acetaminophen and caffeine (45.9%), magnesium hydroxide (18.9%), bisoprolol (10.8%), ascorbic acid (8.1%), clopidogrel (5.4%). Comparing markets combined drugs ASA of Ukraine, the Russian Federation, 28 EU countries, Norway, Switzerland, India, Syria, Australia and the USA identified the active pharmaceutical ingredients, combined with ASA in a single dosage form. The analysis of questionnaires 40 pharmacists pharmacies Ternopil, Khmelnytsky and Kyiv regions of Ukraine noted that the biggest demand is mono-drugs ASA, Citramon, Askofen and Cardiomagnyl. Methods of pharmacoeconomic studies proved efficient use Upsaryn UPSA with vitamin C tabl. spike. tuba in box number 20 BMS (France), Citramon tablets number 6 PJSC “Monfarm” (Ukraine) and Cardiomagnyl tabl. film-coated shell 75 mg in bottle number 100 Nycomed Austria (Austria). On the basis of six State Forms of drugs in Ukraine (2009-2014) was found that the combination of drugs based on ASA is recommended to use of ascorbic acid (Aspiryn® C, Asprovit C, Upsarin UPSA with vitamin C), dipyridamole (Agrenox®), magnesium hydroxide (Cardiomagnyl, Cardiomagnyl Forte). Some of the standard combination of ASA (combination of paracetamol and caffeine) are not in form.
