Exosomes are involved in cell-to-cell communication and play a crucial role in cellular physiology. The role of exosomes in cancer has been widely explored. Tumor cells have evolved and adapted to evade the immune response. The study of the immune system’s modulations in favor of rogue tumor cells led to the development of a novel immunotherapeutic...

We report on a retrospective model-based assessment of the predictive value of translating antitumor drug activity from in vivo experiments to a phase I clinical study in cancer patients treated with the MDM2 inhibitor, HDM201. Tumor growth inhibition models were developed describing the longitudinal tumor size data in human-derived osteosarcoma xe...

Accurate assessment of antigen-specific immune responses is critical in the development of safe and efficacious biotherapeutics and vaccines. Endosomal processing of a protein antigen followed by presentation on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II constitute necessary steps in the induction of CD4+ T cell immune responses. Current precl...

Iontophoresis is a widely used drug delivery technique that has been used clinically to improve permeation through the skin for drugs and other actives in topical formulations. It is however not commonly used for the treatment of nail diseases despite its potential to improve transungual nail delivery. Instead, treatments for nail diseases are limi...

Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic that is commonly prescribed to pregnant women to treat moderate-to-severe pain. It has been shown to cross the placenta and distribute to the fetus. Oxycodone is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 in the adult liver. Since CYP3A7 is abundantly expressed in the fetal liver and has overlapping substrate specificity with CYP...

Capecitabine is an oral pro-drug of 5-fluorouracil. Patients with solid tumours who are treated with capecitabine may develop hand-and-foot syndrome (HFS) as side effect. This might be a result of accumulation of intracellular metabolites. We characterised the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 5-fluorouridine 5′-triphosphate (FUTP) in peripheral blood monon...

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a short-chain fatty acid present endogenously in the brain and used therapeutically for the treatment of narcolepsy, as sodium oxybate, and for alcohol abuse/withdrawal. GHB is better known however as a drug of abuse and is commonly referred to as the “date–rape drug”; current use in popular culture includes recreatio...

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are most known for their roles in oxidation and elimination of ethanol. Although less known, ADHs also play a critical role in the metabolism of a number of drugs and metabolites that contain alcohol functional groups, such as abacavir (HIV/AIDS), hydroxyzine (antihistamine), and ethambutol (antituberculosis). ADHs con...

SKY59 or RO7112689 is a humanized monoclonal antibody against complement protein C5 with pH-dependent C5-binding and neonatal Fc receptor–mediated recycling capabilities, which result in long-lasting neutralization of C5. We developed and validated a novel total drug assay for quantification of target-binding competent SKY59 in the presence of endo...
