New drug approved by the FDA in the first half of 2024

In the first half of the year, the FDA approved a number of landmark drugs, and there are many highlights: Rezdiffra, the first non-alcoholic steatohepatitis drug in 40 years, was […]

Lipophilicity of Drug

Lipophilicity of Drug

In the process of small molecule drug development, lipophilicity (or hydrophobicity) is a very important indicator that has a crucial impact on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Lipophilicity involves the pharmacokinetic processes […]

Analysis Method for Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR) of Antibody-drug Conjugates

Analysis Method for Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR) of Antibody-drug Conjugates

The Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR) is the most important quality attribute of ADC drugs because it determines the “payload” that can be delivered to tumors, directly impacting safety and efficacy. Here, we […]

RNA-targeted Gene Therapy

RNA-targeted Gene Therapy

In the early 21st century, after the completion of the Human Genome Project, it was discovered that many diseases were caused by gene mutations leading to insufficient expression of functional […]

The Latest Developments in ADC Payloads

The Latest Developments in ADC Payloads

Driven by increasingly mature technologies, ADC payloads have undergone three generations of innovation. In the first generation of ADC drugs, traditional chemotherapy agents such as methotrexate, vincristine, and doxorubicin were used […]

Comparison and Analysis of SMDC, ADC, and DAC

Comparison and Analysis of SMDC, ADC, and DAC

In order to more effectively deliver chemotherapy drugs, Small Molecule Drug Conjugates (SMDC), Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC), and Degradation Antibody Conjugates (DAC) have been successively explored and developed, enhancing the […]

What is Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA)

What is Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA)?

Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a synthetic polymer similar to DNA or RNA. PNA can be said to have been born in Denmark, where it was originally developed by Peter E. […]

General Design Methods for mRNA Drugs
