Abstract

Innovations in pharmaceutical science drive new treatment approaches for cancer and brain injury. This Patent Highlight reviews findings from three patents focused on kinase inhibition in cancer therapy and using biomarkers to assess brain injury. By targeting key enzymes such as AKT1 and diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKα), these innovations offer new strategies for cancer treatment, particularly in cases of resistance to conventional therapies. In parallel, advances in biomarker-based diagnostics provide a more sensitive means of detecting traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Together, these breakthroughs hold promise for improving outcomes in oncology and neurology.

期刊介绍： ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to: Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics) Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc. Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
