NIH, Industry Launch $230 Million Translational Drugs, Diagnostics Push
GenomeWeb Daily News Share
The National Institutes of Health said Feb. 4 it plans to spend nearly $230 million in a partnership with 10 pharmaceutical firms and several non-profit groups to jumpstart efforts to find targets for new drugs and diagnostics. NIH created the Accelerating Medicines Partnership as a new model for spurring development of drugs toward US Food and Drug Administration approval, a process which has a failure rate of 95 percent and which can take a decade and cost more than $1 billion.

Eyes on Excipients
Chemical & Engineering News Share
When it comes to drugs, most of the attention goes to the active pharmaceutical ingredient. But typically the vast majority of what's in a tablet, capsule, or liquid isn't the active ingredient. A drug is formulated with many other compounds, called excipients, that play an essential role in delivering the active ingredient to the patient. Lubricants, for example, make a bulk material easier to handle in a manufacturing facility.

First Glimpse of How HIV Swamps the Gut's Immune Cells
NewScientist Share
We've been given the first glimpse of HIV in attack mode in the gut, shedding light on how the virus hijacks immune cells, multiplies and spreads throughout the body. A team of biochemists have used electron tomography microscopes to capture the first high-resolution, 3-D images of the HIV virus lurking in the intestines of "humanized" mice, whose immune systems are made up largely of human cells.

Disruption of Oligomerization and Dehydroalanine Formation as Mechanisms for ClpP Protease Inhibition
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
Over 100 protease inhibitors are currently used in the clinics, and most of them use blockage of the active site for their mode of inhibition. Among the protease drug targets are several enzymes for which the correct multimeric assembly is crucial to their activity, such as the proteasome and the HIV protease. Here, we present a novel mechanism of protease inhibition that relies on active-site-directed small molecules that disassemble the protease complex.

Chemical Products on a Renewable Basis
Science Daily Share
A breakthrough in the use of renewable raw materials in chemical production has been achieved by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and its industrial partner AVA Biochem: In January this year, a facility at AVA Biochem in Muttenz (Switzerland) has started production of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural. The KIT has developed an innovative hydrothermal method to obtain the organic compound from biomass. Being a platform chemical, 5-HMF can serve as a precursor for various materials.

Testosterone Again Linked to Heart Risks
LiveScience Share
For some men, taking testosterone may triple the risk of having a heart attack, according to a new study. Researchers looked at medical records of more than 48,500 men ages 65 and younger who were taking testosterone (in forms of gels, patches or injections), and followed them for three months. The results showed that among men with a history of heart disease, 15 men per 1,000 had a heart attack during the three months after they started taking testosterone compared with five men per 1,000 before testosterone was prescribed.

New Theory May Lead to More Efficient Solar Cells
Phys.org Share
A new theoretical model developed by professors at the University of Houston and Université de Montréal may hold the key to methods for developing better materials for solar cells. Eric Bittner, a John and Rebecca Moores Professor of Chemistry and Physics at UH, and Carlos Silva, an associate professor at the Université de Montréal, say the model could lead to new solar cell materials made from improved blends of semiconducting polymers and fullerenes.

The Impact of FDA's Social Media Guidance for Pharmaceutical Companies
By Pamela Lewis Dolan Share
 The Food and Drug Administration took a significant step forward in clarifying the responsibilities pharmaceutical companies have concerning social media activity in the recent release of a draft guidance document. As uncertainties still remain, the impact this guidance will have on pharmaceutical companies embracing this new venue of communication is unclear. The guidance gives pharmaceutical companies reassurance that they would not be held responsible for comments left by third parties on social media sites. But, as one expert points out, this should not be considered a reason to ignore the opportunities social media presents to engage with patients.
