  • Breaking Eroom's
    Breaking Eroom’s Law Michael S. Ringel, Jack W. Scannell, Mathias Baedeker and Ulrik Schulze https://doi.org/10.1038/d41573-020-00059-3 Supplementary Box 1 | Data and analysis Breaking Eroom’s Law The count and value of NMEs relative to R&D spend comes from BCG’s New Therapeutic Drug (NTD) Database, which is also the source of BCG’s annual publication in Nat. Rev. Drug. Discov. showing trends in count and value over time.1 FDA approvals are from FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER),2 peak sales estimates are from EvaluatePharma®,3 and R&D spend data are from BCG Value Science, inflation-adjusted using the standard global GDP-based inflator from the Economist Intelligence Unit.4 For additional details on methodology, see Schulze, Baedeker, Chen and Greber.5 Eroom’s Law is linear on a log scale through 2010, with an average increase approximately 12% per annum, or a halving of productivity approximately every seven years. If this holds true even after 2010, we would see a continuation of the linear development of the number of drugs approved per billion US$ R&D spending when using a logarithmic scale. To demonstrate that the deviation from regression after 2010 is statistically relevant we assumed the following: 1) Eroom's law is true up to 2010. 2) Eroom's law is not true between 2010 and 2018. To confirm our assumptions, we used a log-linear regression to describe the number of new molecular entities (NMEs) approved by the US FDA per billion US$ R&D spending from 1950–2010.

Received: 11 March 2010; in revised form: 31 March 2010 / Accepted: 19 April 2010 / Published: 20 April 2010 Abstract: Fibrolase is the fibrinolytic enzyme isolated from Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix (southern copperhead snake) venom. The enzyme was purified by a three-step HPLC procedure and was shown to be homogeneous by standard criteria including reverse phase HPLC, molecular sieve chromatography and SDS-PAGE. The purified enzyme is a zinc metalloproteinase containing one mole of zinc. It is composed of 203 amino acids with a blocked amino-terminus due to cyclization of the terminal Gln residue. Fibrolase shares a significant degree of homology with enzymes of the reprolysin sub-family of metalloproteinases including an active site homology of close to 100%; it is rapidly inhibited by chelating agents such as EDTA, and by alpha2-macroglobulin (). The enzyme is a direct-acting thrombolytic agent and does not rely on plasminogen for clot dissolution. Fibrolase rapidly cleaves the A()-chain of fibrinogen and the B()-chain at a slower rate; it has no activity on the -chain.
