This table features a selection of some of the best drug discovery journals. While not exhaustive (our team’s RSS feed includes hundreds), this is a subjective list of where to find the most valuable articles for those entering the field.
Understanding how a small molecule ligand binds to its target is valuable in drug discovery, because it enables more efficient optimization through structure-based design, better mechanistic understanding of molecular pharmacology, and greater confidence in the therapeutic hypothesis from both safety and efficacy perspectives. Recently, Drug Hunter highlighted methods for target identification when the target is unknown.
Nurix’s NX-2127 is an orally bioavailable BTK degrader that exhibits in vivo degradation across species and has advanced into first-in-human clinical trials for relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. This molecule one-pager serves as a reference guide, offering an overview of the scientific significance of Nurix's NX-2127 program. It includes links to key presentations, publications, patents, preclinical and clinical PK data summaries, and more.
This table features a selection of some of the best books on drug discovery, as well as related topics such as pharmacology, toxicology, pharmaceutics, and biotech. While nothing can replace hands-on industry experience, a few books serve as valuable references and offer insights into the realities of drug discovery. We recommend this list as a useful technical resource or as an informative introduction to the broader field of drug discovery, beyond any single discipline.
Kymera's KT-474 is the first oral heterobifunctional degrader to demonstrate activity in clinical trials outside cancer. This molecule one-pager serves as a reference guide, offering an overview of the scientific significance of Kymera's KT-474 program. It includes links to key presentations, publications, patents, preclinical and clinical PK data summaries, and more.
