After the 2024 Nobel Prize is announced, what is the commercial value?

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has finally been announced, and surprisingly, the previously highly requested GLP-1 target and alphafold system have not been awarded, and the award-winning fields are similar to last year, which are pioneers in the field of RNA. Last year it was mRNA, this year it is microRNA. On October 7 at 5:30 p.m., the Sweden Carolinska Institutet announced that the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun · · for their “discovery of microRNAs and their role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.” It is reported that the two are professors at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Harvard Medical School, respectively. As we all know, the winner of the Nobel Prize needs to go through a long time from making relevant achievements to winning the Nobel Prize: the Nobel Prize needs time to test its ...

$2.2 billion settlement, GSK pays for safety

Zantac was originally a popular heartburn drug. From being popular all over the world to being withdrawn from the market due to carcinogenic risks, the years-long litigation disputes can be regarded as a slow and bumpy roller coaster for patients and manufacturers. This storm can be traced back to June 2019. At that time, Valisure discovered and informed the FDA during routine batch testing that the active ingredient ranitidine in Zantac would degrade under certain conditions and produce N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a Class 2A carcinogen. In September of the same year, Valisure formally submitted a citizen petition to the FDA, requesting the recall of all products containing ranitidine. Since then, Zantac has been deeply involved in the carcinogenic storm. The FDA further found that the higher the storage temperature or the longer the storage time of Zantac, the higher the risk of exceeding the standard of NDMA, which was originally very ...

A tumultuous time for the king of orphan drugs

More than 20 years ago, research on rare diseases and the treatment of rare diseases were very rare in the medical community. The small market size of rare diseases and the huge difficulty in research and development have made pharmaceutical companies shy away from this field. In the past 25 years, BioMarin has launched eight rare disease drugs with strong R&D capabilities. Arguably, this record is unmatched by few companies in the biotech industry. However, with the failure of the commercialization of its highly-anticipated hemophilia A gene therapy, Roctavian, a strategic review began. Since the beginning of this year, BioMarin has been in turmoil. Over the past nine months, there have been layoffs, executive restructuring, spending cuts, and research projects on hold. With the reshuffle of the business structure and the arrival of new competition, it remains to be seen when BioMarin will be able to get out of this ...

Domestic PD-1 accelerates landing in Europe and America! Junshi and Baekje are rushing to the beach, and the next one is Hengrui?

Recently, BeiGene announced that its PD-1 inhibitor Trastuzumab (US trade name: TEVIMBRA) has been officially commercialized in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have previously received systemic chemotherapy (excluding PD-1/L1 inhibitors). Global pharmaceutical companies consider the US market as a battleground for going global. At the end of October 2023, Junshi Biotech’s trastuzumab (US trade name: LOQTORZI) obtained FDA approval, becoming the first nasopharyngeal carcinoma drug to be marketed in the United States, as well as the first biologically innovative drug and PD-1 inhibitor from China approved by the FDA. In March 2024, BeiGene’s Trastuzumab was approved for its first indication in the United States, following closely behind.

Another new analgesic has been submitted for marketing application

Vertex (Futai Pharmaceuticals) has a long-standing reputation. It has worked in the field of rare diseases for more than ten years and has created an orphan drug blockbuster trikafta with annual sales of over $10 billion. Today, the company has opened up new horizons in another field. Recently, Vertex announced that the FDA has accepted the marketing application of the Nav1.8 inhibitor VX-548 (Suzetrigine) and granted priority review qualification for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. This is a major breakthrough in the field of analgesics and may subvert the competitive landscape of analgesics commercialization. Analgesics have always been valued by the medical community, both in academia and industry. And every pharmacology textbook and medicinal chemistry textbook used as a teaching material cannot avoid a classic drug: morphine. Whether it is its rigid structure of five fused rings or its analgesic and antitussive pharmacological effects, it is well ...

【EXPERT Q&A】Can metformin fight aging?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Metformin, a widely used antidiabetic drug, has shown potential in recent research on anti-aging. Specifically, its anti-aging effects are manifested in the following aspects: Ⅰ. Scientific Research Achievements Research by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Team: After an extensive 8-year study, the team led by Liu Guanghui from the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered that metformin can reset the intrinsic program of cellular aging, significantly delaying aging in primates. This achievement was published in the journal “Cell”, providing new insights into the biological mechanisms of aging and potential strategies for future interventions in human aging. Experimental Evidence: The research team conducted a 40-month follow-up study on middle-aged and elderly male crab-eating macaques. The results showed that individuals who took metformin long-term exhibited significant delays in aging, including reduced brain cortex atrophy, improved cognitive function, delayed periodontal bone degeneration, and protection of multiple tissues and ...
