AZD4831
Context. AZD4831 (AstraZeneca) is an oral covalent myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor being developed for heart failure. Almost half of chronic heart disease patients suffer from heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and have an estimated five-year mortality rate of 75% . Improvement in vascular structure could help these [...]
compound 44
The Merck bicyclic macrocyclic peptide PCSK9 inhibitor, “ compound 44 ,” is a highly potent (Ki = 0.00239 nM) and orally bioavailable (cyno %F = 2.9, t1/2 = 10 h) agent against a notoriously difficult target for small molecules, demonstrating target engagement comparable to approved PCSK9 antibodies. The discovery of this molecule is an [...]
