Summary: The drug-target residence time model provides a theoretical framework for understanding the complexities of in vivo drug action. By combining in vitro measured residence time, equilibrium measures of drug-target affinity, and in vivo measures of pharmacokinetic half-life, researchers can have a powerful approach to optimize drugs for clinical effect. Further studies are needed to better understand the dynamic interplay between residence time, target pathobiology, drug distribution, and drug pharmacokinetics despite the significant use and refinement of this model.

DC/L-SIGN recognition of spike glycoprotein promotes SARS-CoV-2 trans-infection and can be inhibited by a glycomimetic antagonist

Michel Thepaut et al.

Summary: The study reveals that C-type lectin receptors (CLRS) can bind to the spike envelope protein of SARS-CoV-2, and DC-SIGN and L-SIGN among them can promote virus trans-infection. This discovery identifies a new mechanism for enhancing viral spread.

Targeting human langerin promotes HIV-1 specific humoral immune responses

Jerome Kervevan et al.

Summary: Targeting of skin Langerhans cells (LC) may efficiently induce potent anti-HIV immune responses, serving as a promising strategy for developing effective HIV-1 vaccines. This approach demonstrates the potential of directing immune responses through specific cell targeting and may lead to the induction of protective antibodies against HIV-1.

Blockage of bacterial FimH prevents mucosal inflammation associated with Crohn's disease

Gregoire Chevalier et al.

Summary: The study identified a significant enrichment of FimH-expressing bacteria in the gut microbiome of CD patients, with FimH playing a crucial role in adhesion and inflammation induction. The specific FimH-blocker TAK-018 was shown to prevent bacterial adhesion and inflammation, potentially offering a promising treatment option for CD patients.

CD209L/L-SIGN and CD209/DC-SIGN Act as Receptors for SARS-CoV-2

Razie Amraei et al.

Summary: The study identified CD209L and CD209 as receptors for SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells. CD209L is prominently expressed in lung and kidney tissues and interacts with ACE2, potentially playing a role in SARS-CoV-2 infection. This finding may have implications for antiviral drug development in tissues where ACE2 expression is low or absent.

Towards the sustainable discovery and development of new antibiotics

Marcus Miethke et al.

Summary: There is a growing demand for novel antimicrobials to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, but there is currently a lack of investment in this field. New agents with innovative chemistry and modes of action are urgently needed to combat the public health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance. The consortium proposes short-term and long-term solutions to overcome urgent limitations in research and funding, aiming to bridge the gap between academic, industrial, and political stakeholders to improve the ability to discover and develop new antibiotics.

Liver-Targeted Delivery of Oligonucleotides with N-Acetylgalactosamine Conjugation

Hao Cui et al.

Summary: The potential therapeutic application of oligonucleotides that selectively suppress target genes through antisense and RNA interference mechanisms has attracted widespread attention, with a focus on liver-targeted delivery using N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligands. Recent progress in the field of GalNAc conjugates for improving cellular uptake and tissue-specific delivery has shown promising results in preclinical and clinical trials.

Summary: Myeloid C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) play important roles in immunity, homeostasis, and cancer as pattern-recognition receptors on cells of the innate immune system. As appealing targets for therapeutic interventions, research into glycomimetic or drug-like small molecule ligands for CLRs Mincle, Langerin, and DC-SIGN shows potential applications in vaccine research and anti-infective therapy.
