This article contains a pharmacokinetics reference table ("PK cheat sheet") with common cross-species physiological parameters relevant to PK, including animal size, liver blood flow, kidney blood flow, and body volumes. When interpreting compound pharmacokinetic (PK) data, it's helpful to have reference values to compare experimental data to [...]
This article explains what LogD is, why LogD (or LogP) is important in drug discovery, rookie mistakes in drug discovery that come from overlooking LogD or LogP, and contains a LogD reference poster that shows the estimated amount of potency attributable to lipophilicity considerations alone. By Dennis Hu Jump to Cheat Sheet Lipophilicity is [...]
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.
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.
Small-molecule drug candidates are increasingly falling “ beyond the rule of 5 ,” making oral administration more challenging. Optimizing a drug’s solid form can improve its solubility and bioavailability when further molecular modifications are prohibitive. This minireview covers solid form strategies for increasing the solubility and oral [...]
