- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of GLP-1 Medicines for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 21, 2024
Here I highlight evidence establishing the efficacy of GLP-1-based medicines, while discussing data that inform safety, focusing on muscle strength, bone density and fractures, exercise capacity, gastrointestinal motility, retained gastric contents and anesthesia, pancreatic and biliary tract disorders, and the risk of cancer. Rapid progress in development of highly efficacious GLP-1 medicines, and anticipated differentiation of newer agents in subsets of metabolic disorders, will provide greater opportunities for use of personalized medicine approaches to improve the health of people living with cardiometabolic disorders.

Hence, it is imperative to prioritize the bone health of patients undergoing cancer treatment and give it further attention.
- |||||||||| MORAb-028 / Eisai, Amgen
Journal: Development of Clinically Viable Non-Muscle Myosin II Small Molecule Inhibitors with Broad Therapeutic Potential. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 17, 2024 Research suggests numerous indications, from axon regeneration and cancer, would benefit from a small molecule inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II, a molecular motor that regulates the actin cytoskeleton. Current chemical probe options are very limited and lack sufficient safety for in vivo studies, which we show is primarily due to potent inhibition of cardiac myosin II.Rational design that focused on improving target selectivity over the pan-myosin II inhibitor, blebbistatin, led to the identification of MT-228, a small molecule inhibitor with a wide therapeutic window.High-resolution structure of MT-228 bound to myosin II reveals that selectivity results from a different positioning compared to blebbistatin and an important sequence difference between cardiac and non-muscle myosin II in the inhibitor binding pocket.A single administration of MT-228 shows long-lasting efficacy in animal models of stimulant use disorder, a current unmet and rapidly escalating need with no FDA-approved treatments.

While the molecular phenotypes exhibited by the five CaSR variants concord with the clinical phenotypes in individuals harboring them, CASR variant-induced calcium homeostasis disorders clearly arise from diverse molecular origins, and the effectiveness of calcimimetics in these disorders could differ depending on the specific variants.
