  • MDAX—2019 Supervisory Board Study Key Insights from This Year’S Analysis by Russell Reynolds Associates
    MDAX—2019 Supervisory Board Study Key insights from this year’s analysis by Russell Reynolds Associates Summary Over the past year, Germany's MDAX companies have experienced significant change. The number of companies in the index increased by 10, bringing the overall total to 60. Moreover, 11 "old economy" firms, including Jungheinrich, Krones, Leoni, Salzgitter and Schaeffler, were ousted by pharma, med and biotech risers, such as Evotec, Morphosys, Qiagen, Sartorius and Siemens Healthineers, as well as "new economy" powerhouses like Dialog, Nemetschek, Software AG, Telefonica D, and United Internet. This was also an exceptional election year, with 106 shareholder representative positions expiring. All positions were filled. A total of 67 board members were re-elected, while 36 were replaced. The three remaining roles were absorbed by changes to board sizes. Female shareholder representation surpasses 30 percent For the first time, the share of female shareholder representatives surpassed the required quota, reaching 30.6 percent. Including employee representatives, women now make up 32 percent of supervisory board members. A total of three boards are now chaired by women. However, there is still a major gender discrepancy concerning positions of power when comparing chairpersonships and especially executive board positions. Only four companies can boast more than 30 percent of female executives, while 40 MDAX companies do not have a single woman in a leadership role. Accelerated increase in digital directors The number of digital directors on MDAX supervisory boards showed a significant 30 percent year- on-year increase. However, digital expertise is still unevenly spread in the MDAX. Seven companies have three or more digital directors, while 57 percent of boards completely lack digital expertise.

    Review Article Computational Approaches for Drug Design and Discovery: An Overview Baldi A College of Pharmacy, Dr. Shri R.M.S. Institute of Science & Technology, Bhanpura, Dist. Mandsaur (M.P.), India ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: The process of drug discovery is very complex and requires an interdisciplinary effort to design Received 12 July 2009 effective and commercially feasible drugs. The objective of drug design is to find a chemical Accepted 21 July 2009 compound that can fit to a specific cavity on a protein target both geometrically and chemically. Available online 04 February 2010 After passing the animal tests and human clinical trials, this compound becomes a drug available Keywords: to patients. The conventional drug design methods include random screening of chemicals Computer-aided drug design found in nature or synthesized in laboratories. The problems with this method are long design Combinatorial chemistry cycle and high cost. Modern approach including structure-based drug design with the help Drug of informatic technologies and computational methods has speeded up the drug discovery Structure-based drug deign process in an efficient manner. Remarkable progress has been made during the past five years in almost all the areas concerned with drug design and discovery. An improved generation of softwares with easy operation and superior computational tools to generate chemically stable and worthy compounds with refinement capability has been developed. These tools can tap into cheminformation to shorten the cycle of drug discovery, and thus make drug discovery more cost-effective. A complete overview of drug discovery process with comparison of conventional approaches of drug discovery is discussed here.

    Cell & Cellular Life Sciences Journal Drug Discovery - Yesterday and Tomorrow: The Common Approaches in Drug Design and Cancer 1,2 1 3 Hamad ON *, Amran SIB and Sabbah AM Mini Review 1Faculty of Bioscience & Medical Engineering, Malaysia Volume 3 Issue 1 2University of Wasit, College of Medicine, Iraq Received Date: February 27, 2018 3Forensic DNA for research and training Centre, Al Nahrain University, Iraq Published Date: April 03, 2018 *Corresponding author: Oras Naji Hamad, Faculty of Bioscience & Medical Engineering, University of Technology, Malaysia, Tel: 01121715960; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The process of drug discovery has undergone radical changes and development over years. Traditionally, the drugs were discovered by employing chemistry and pharmacology-based cautious approach. When natural products were the most important source of drugs or drug precursors, but the conventional randomized drug research phenomenon was no longer effective at that time due to many negatives of these approaches like: high expenses of discovering new drugs, time-consuming and reduced success guarantee. Thus, with the development of the era, the concept of “Rational Drug Design” has enabled drug target identification and validation to be more specific. In addition, several novel technologies and approaches have been introducing economics, proteomics and other omics areas such as 3D QSAR, pharmacophore modeling and other, which playing a promising role in accelerating the pace of drug discovery process.

  • The Impact of Early ADME Profiling on Drug Discovery and Development Strategy
    ADME Profiling The impact of early ADME profiling on drug discovery and development strategy The increased costs in the discovery and development of new drugs, due in part to the high attrition rate of drug candidates in development, has led to a new strategy to introduce early, parallel evaluation of efficacy and biopharmaceutical properties of drug candidates. Investigation of terminated projects revealed that the primary cause for drug failure in the development phase was the poor pharmacokinetic and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Discretion and Toxicity) properties rather than unsatisfactory efficacy. In addition, the applications of parallel synthesis and combinatory chemistry to expedite lead finding and lead optimisation processes has shifted the chemical libraries towards poorer biopharmaceutical properties. Establishments of high throughput and fast ADMET profiling assays allow for the prioritisation of leads or drug candidates by their biopharmaceutical properties in parallel with optimisation of their efficacy at early discovery phases.This is expected to not only improve the overall quality of drug candidates and therefore the probability of their success, but also shorten the drug discovery and development process. In this article, we review the early ADME profiling approach, their timing in relation to the entire drug discovery and development process and the latest technologies of the selected assays will be reviewed. iscovery and development of a new drug is a lead finding/selection process, which in general takes By Dr Jianling Wang long, labour-demanding process.

  • Setting Fair Prices for Life-Saving Drugs by Bruce A
    Virtual Mentor American Medical Association Journal of Ethics January 2007, Volume 9, Number 1: 38-43. Policy forum Setting fair prices for life-saving drugs by Bruce A. Chabner, MD, and Thomas G. Roberts Jr., MD, MSocSci Cancer drugs are big business. Worldwide sales are projected to reach $25 billion in 2006 and to increase to almost $50 billion by 2010 [1]. This represents a startling growth in a segment of the drug industry once shunned by major pharmaceutical manufacturers as too high-risk and unprofitable. While a few drug companies, notably Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and Pharmatalia, made significant profits on cancer drugs between 1970 and 1990 when the first effective combination therapies came into common practice, the turning point in this industrial segment occurred in 1992 with the approval of Bristol-Myers Squibb’s paclitaxel, which became a multibillion-dollar-per-year product by 1998. To understand our current concerns with cancer drug costs and their potential effect on medical care financing and access, one needs to be familiar with the paclitaxel experience. The story of paclitaxel’s discovery and commercial development reflects both the lack of interest that industry had in cancer drugs at that time and the sudden emergence of drug cost as a social justice issue. In 1964 Monroe Wall and associates, working at the Research Triangle Institute under a National Cancer Institute (NCI) contract, isolated the active compound in paclitaxel from the bark of the common yew tree [2].
