Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) in oncology: a review of patents and regulatory considerations.

Introduction: Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) represents a groundbreaking advancement in drug discovery and targeted protein degradation. Unlike traditional small-molecule inhibitors, PROTACs leverage the cell's natural protein degradation machinery to selectively degrade pathogenic proteins, offering significant therapeutic potential for previously undruggable targets and complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Understanding the regulatory landscape governing their approval is crucial as their development accelerates.

Exploring the clinical trials, regulatory insights, and challenges of PROTACs in oncology.

While various targeted therapies exist for cancer, resistance mechanisms remain a significant challenge. Recent advancements in cancer treatment have led to the emergence of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), a promising technology utilizing hetero-bifunctional molecules to target and degrade proteins implicated in cancer progression through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). PROTACs offer a novel approach, with recent studies and clinical trials demonstrating promising outcomes in degrading endogenous proteins linked to cancer.

Innovative Approaches in Regulatory Affairs: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Efficient Compliance and Decision-Making.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-driven technologies are transforming industries across the board, with the pharmaceutical sector emerging as a frontrunner beneficiary. This article explores the growing impact of AI and Machine Learning (ML) within pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs, particularly in dossier preparation, compilation, documentation, submission, review, and regulatory compliance. By automating time-intensive tasks, these technologies streamline workflows, accelerate result generation, and shorten the product approval timeline.

Esterase responsive release of anti-cancer agents from conjugated lipid nanocarrier and the regulatory considerations.

The release of active agents in tumors rather than normal tissues, limits systemic exposure and toxicities. Targeting over-expressed esterase enzyme in the tumor microenvironment can selectively release immune-active agents like Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand inhibitors from ester-sensitive lipid nanocarriers, offering a novel approach compared with conventional therapies. PD-1 and PD-L1 association cause T-cell inactivation, whereas blocking their association improves their cytotoxic mechanism.

Lipid-based mesoporous silica nanoparticles: a paradigm shift in management of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a devastating disease, has the worst cancer prognosis in humans. It often develops resistance to common chemotherapy medications, such as gemcitabine, taxol and 5-fluorouracil. The dense stroma limits therapeutic efficacy in treating this disease.

Transethosome as a versatile nano vehicle for various indications and its regulatory insights.

Transethosomes, classified as 3rd generation nanocarriers, have gained global acclaim due to their profound potential in addressing diverse medical conditions. Their superior dermal penetration, attributed to essential constituents, such as edge activators and alcohol, sets them apart from other nanoformulations. The current review article embarks with an introduction followed by a comprehensive exploration of transethosome structures, differentiating them from fellow nanocarriers.

Prominence of bioresponsive DNA nanococoons in tackling post-surgery cancer recurrence.

Post-surgery cancer recurrence is one of the reasons for increased cancer cases. The effective usage of the enhanced permeability and retention effect of a nanocarrier infused with the bioresponsive release mechanism of checkpoint inhibitors (aPD1 and aCTLA4) can become a boon to mankind. DNA nanococoons (DNCs) comprising cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) with potent immunostimulatory effects can significantly enhance anti-cancer activity.
