COVID-19 drugs have become a “dark horse”

The success and failure of COVID-19 are the market’s summary of Pfizer in the past few years. In 2022, COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 oral drugs brought Pfizer up to $57 billion in revenue. Relying on the wealth brought by COVID-19 products, Pfizer’s revenue exceeded $100 billion this year, setting a new record for the highest revenue of major pharmaceutical companies. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic dissipated, the global market demand for COVID-19 products fell sharply, and Pfizer was the first to bear the brunt. Faced with the “COVID-19 cliff”, Pfizer had to continue to lower its revenue expectations, and the company’s stock price continued to fall. Last year, it fell by more than 40% throughout the year, and its market value evaporated by nearly $130 billion. In this year’s third quarter report, Pfizer handed in a report card that far exceeded market expectations. Revenue in the third quarter reached $17.7 ...

After the guidelines were adjusted, GlaxoSmithKline’s RSV vaccine sales plummeted by 74%

Star vaccine products suffered a Waterloo. Last year, the RSV vaccine was amazing; this year, it fell back quickly. Recently, GlaxoSmithKline released its financial report, and its RSV vaccine Arexvy’s sales in the third quarter fell 74% year-on-year, with sales of 188 million pounds, equivalent to 240 million US dollars. So, what caused the decline of Arexvy? According to GlaxoSmithKline, Arexvy suffered a triple blow. The core is that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has narrowed the scope of immunization recommendations. Previously, RSV vaccines were recommended for vaccination for people over 60 years old. In June of this year, the US CDC adjusted its recommendations for vaccination populations. After the adjustment, the scope was greatly narrowed, limited to: 1. Adults aged 75 and above. 2. High-risk groups aged 60-74. In addition, the US CDC recommends that it be used only as a single lifetime vaccination. In ...

Hengrui Medicine’s “2 Category 1 new drugs” approved for clinical trials

Recently, according to the official website of CDE, two Class 1 new drugs of Hengrui Medicine have obtained implicit approval for clinical trials, namely HRS-5632 injection and HRS-6208 capsule. The former is intended to treat lipoprotein disorders, and the latter targets solid tumors. Lipoprotein disorders Lipoprotein disorder refers to the abnormal metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Studies have shown that it may lead to abnormal transport and distribution of lipids in the blood, thus causing a series of health problems. At present, lipoprotein disorder has been confirmed to be an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and there is no specific drug to treat it. It is reported that cardiovascular diseases, mainly ASCVD, are the leading cause of death among urban and rural residents in China, accounting for more than 45% of the causes of death. In response to lipoprotein disorder, Hengrui Medicine has deployed a small molecule drug ...

single-cell transcriptomics and proteomic analysis

Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and sleep cognitive problems, affecting nearly 6 million people worldwide. Its neuropathological features include the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the aggregation of alpha synuclein within cells. Although neuroinflammation involving glial cells and immune cells is believed to be related to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, further research is needed to determine whether these pathways are associated with sporadic diseases. In addition, the relative contributions of neurons and glial cells in Parkinson’s pathology are still unclear. Although single-cell technology, including multi omics analysis, is gradually becoming a popular method for studying neurodegenerative diseases, these tools are only now beginning to be applied in Parkinson’s disease research, especially utilizing human brain tissue. On October 30, 2024, the Zhang Le research group at Yale University published a research paper titled “Single cell transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of Parkinson’s disease ...

Nat Commun | Professor Ouyang Songying’s team reveals the activation mechanism of Sir2 HerA system in pathogenic bacteria’s phage immunity

In the long-term and intense survival competition between bacteria, archaea, and bacteriophages, they have evolved various complex antiviral systems to resist the invasion of bacteriophages. The latest research reveals that approximately 7% of sequenced bacterial genomes have at least one defense system, among which the depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a common strategy to combat phage induced miscarriage infections. The hydrolysis of NAD+is mainly performed by proteins containing TIR and Sir2 domains. Recently, Professor Ouyang Songying’s team from the School of Life Sciences at Fujian Normal University collaborated to publish a paper titled “Mechanical Basis for the Allosteric Activation of NADase Activity in the Sir2 HerA Antiphage Defense System” online in Nature Communications. This study uses bioinformatics, structural biology, and experimental techniques such as biochemistry to reveal the molecular mechanism of how the Sir2 HerA system is activated and exerts its anti phage function in pathogen immunity.The Sir2 ...
