Drug-target interactions are the process by which a drug interacts with target proteins (e.g., enzymes, receptors, or other regulatory proteins) in an organism. These interactions are the basis for the biological effects of drugs and therefore play a key role in drug development, evaluation, and therapeutic optimization.
Drug-target interactions include but are not limited to, the following types.
TYPES | DESCRIPTIONS |
---|---|
Receptor agonist binding | The drug acts as an agonist of the receptor, binding to the receptor and activating or inhibiting its signaling. |
Enzyme inhibitor binding | The drug acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme, binding to the enzyme and interfering with its catalytic activity. |
Transporter interaction | Drugs bind to intracellular or extracellular transporters and regulate the transport and distribution of substances. |
Nucleic acid interactions | DNA or RNA drugs regulate gene expression or inhibit the replication of pathogens by interacting with the target's DNA or RNA. |
The assessment of drug-target interactions is critical to the success of drug development and therapy. Understanding the mechanism of drug-target interaction helps the flowing areas.
At Creative Proteomics, we offer a variety of methods to assess drug-target interactions, including but not limited to.
Determining the composition of a DNA/RNA drug to confirm that it contains a specific drug molecule. This is a fundamental step in drug-target interaction assessment, ensuring that the drug used is consistent with the intended therapeutic molecule.
Evaluates the potency of the drug, i.e. the biological activity it produces on the target. Understanding the potency of a drug is important for evaluating its action on the target and its therapeutic effect.
To conduct forced degradation studies of drugs. Understanding the degradation of a drug under different conditions allows us to assess its stability and shelf life, which is essential for the quality control of the drug.
Real-time stability studies of drugs. By tracking the changes in the stability of a drug under routine conditions, it helps to understand its changes during storage and use.
Sequence Confirmation of DNA & RNA
To confirm the accuracy and consistency of DNA and RNA sequences. For DNA and RNA drugs used in gene therapy, verifying the correctness of the sequence is an important step in ensuring that the drug can be properly targeted for treatment.
