  • The “Rights” of Precision Drug Development for Alzheimer's Disease
    Cummings et al. Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (2019) 11:76 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13195-019-0529-5 REVIEW Open Access The “rights” of precision drug development for Alzheimer’s disease Jeffrey Cummings1*, Howard H. Feldman2 and Philip Scheltens3 Abstract There is a high rate of failure in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug development with 99% of trials showing no drug- placebo difference. This low rate of success delays new treatments for patients and discourages investment in AD drug development. Studies across drug development programs in multiple disorders have identified important strategies for decreasing the risk and increasing the likelihood of success in drug development programs. These experiences provide guidance for the optimization of AD drug development. The “rights” of AD drug development include the right target, right drug, right biomarker, right participant, and right trial. The right target identifies the appropriate biologic process for an AD therapeutic intervention. The right drug must have well-understood pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features, ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, efficacy demonstrated in animals, maximum tolerated dose established in phase I, and acceptable toxicity. The right biomarkers include participant selection biomarkers, target engagement biomarkers, biomarkers supportive of disease modification, and biomarkers for side effect monitoring. The right participant hinges on the identification of the phase of AD (preclinical, prodromal, dementia). Severity of disease and drug mechanism both have a role in defining the right participant. The right trial is a well-conducted trial with appropriate clinical and biomarker outcomes collected over an appropriate period of time, powered to detect a clinically meaningful drug-placebo difference, and anticipating variability introduced by globalization.

  • Dietary Restriction of Amino Acids for Cancer Therapy Jian-Sheng Kang
    Kang Nutrition & Metabolism (2020) 17:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12986-020-00439-x REVIEW Open Access Dietary restriction of amino acids for Cancer therapy Jian-Sheng Kang Abstract Biosyntheses of proteins, nucleotides and fatty acids, are essential for the malignant proliferation and survival of cancer cells. Cumulating research findings show that amino acid restrictions are potential strategies for cancer interventions. Meanwhile, dietary strategies are popular among cancer patients. However, there is still lacking solid rationale to clarify what is the best strategy, why and how it is. Here, integrated analyses and comprehensive summaries for the abundances, signalling and functions of amino acids in proteomes, metabolism, immunity and food compositions, suggest that, intermittent dietary lysine restriction with normal maize as an intermittent staple food for days or weeks, might have the value and potential for cancer prevention or therapy. Moreover, dietary supplements were also discussed for cancer cachexia including dietary immunomodulatory.

  • Zebrafish Behavioural Profiling Identifies GABA and Serotonin
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11936-w OPEN Zebrafish behavioural profiling identifies GABA and serotonin receptor ligands related to sedation and paradoxical excitation Matthew N. McCarroll1,11, Leo Gendelev1,11, Reid Kinser1, Jack Taylor 1, Giancarlo Bruni 2,3, Douglas Myers-Turnbull 1, Cole Helsell1, Amanda Carbajal4, Capria Rinaldi1, Hye Jin Kang5, Jung Ho Gong6, Jason K. Sello6, Susumu Tomita7, Randall T. Peterson2,10, Michael J. Keiser 1,8 & David Kokel1,9 1234567890():,; Anesthetics are generally associated with sedation, but some anesthetics can also increase brain and motor activity—a phenomenon known as paradoxical excitation. Previous studies have identified GABAA receptors as the primary targets of most anesthetic drugs, but how these compounds produce paradoxical excitation is poorly understood. To identify and understand such compounds, we applied a behavior-based drug profiling approach. Here, we show that a subset of central nervous system depressants cause paradoxical excitation in zebrafish. Using this behavior as a readout, we screened thousands of compounds and identified dozens of hits that caused paradoxical excitation. Many hit compounds modulated human GABAA receptors, while others appeared to modulate different neuronal targets, including the human serotonin-6 receptor. Ligands at these receptors generally decreased neuronal activity, but paradoxically increased activity in the caudal hindbrain. Together, these studies identify ligands, targets, and neurons affecting sedation and paradoxical excitation in vivo in zebrafish. 1 Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA. 2 Cardiovascular Research Center and Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.

  • GPCR/G Protein
    Inhibitors, Agonists, Screening Libraries www.MedChemExpress.com GPCR/G Protein G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) perceive many extracellular signals and transduce them to heterotrimeric G proteins, which further transduce these signals intracellular to appropriate downstream effectors and thereby play an important role in various signaling pathways. G proteins are specialized proteins with the ability to bind the nucleotides guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and guanosine diphosphate (GDP). In unstimulated cells, the state of G alpha is defined by its interaction with GDP, G beta-gamma, and a GPCR. Upon receptor stimulation by a ligand, G alpha dissociates from the receptor and G beta-gamma, and GTP is exchanged for the bound GDP, which leads to G alpha activation. G alpha then goes on to activate other molecules in the cell. These effects include activating the MAPK and PI3K pathways, as well as inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger in the plasma membrane, and the lowering of intracellular Ca2+ levels. Most human GPCRs can be grouped into five main families named; Glutamate, Rhodopsin, Adhesion, Frizzled/Taste2, and Secretin, forming the GRAFS classification system. A series of studies showed that aberrant GPCR Signaling including those for GPCR-PCa, PSGR2, CaSR, GPR30, and GPR39 are associated with tumorigenesis or metastasis, thus interfering with these receptors and their downstream targets might provide an opportunity for the development of new strategies for cancer diagnosis, prevention and treatment. At present, modulators of GPCRs form a key area for the pharmaceutical industry, representing approximately 27% of all FDA-approved drugs. References: [1] Moreira IS.

    227 Current and Future Treatments in Alzheimer’sDisease Alireza Atri, MD, PhD1,2 1 Banner Sun Health Research Institute, Banner Health, Sun City, Address for correspondence Alireza Atri, MD, PhD, Banner Sun Health Arizona Research Institute, 10515 W Santa Fe Drive, Sun City, AZ 85351 2 Center for Brain/Mind Medicine, Department of Neurology, Brigham (e-mail: [email protected]). and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts Semin Neurol 2019;39:227–240. Abstract The foundation of current Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment involves pharmacolo- gical and nonpharmacological management and care planning predicated on patient- centered psychoeducation, shared goal-setting, and decision-making forged by a strong triadic relationship between clinician and the patient-caregiver dyad. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved AD medications, cholinesterase-inhibitors (ChEIs), and the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist memantine, when utilized as part of a comprehensive care plan, while generally considered symptomatic medica- tions, can provide modest “disease course-modifying” effects by enhancing cognition, and reducing loss of independence. When combined, pharmacologic and nonpharma- cologic treatments can meaningfully mitigate symptoms and reduce clinical progres- sion and care burden. AD pharmacotherapy first involves identification and elimination of potentially harmful medications and supplements. First line treatment for neurop- sychiatric symptoms and problem behaviors is nonpharmacological and involves
