Drug Discovery aims to identify a lead compound
• Discovery:
– – – – – Identify the molecular target Design an assay for regulation of activity Identify hits with chemical screening Determine mechanism of action Identify a lead compound with strong binding affinity, KD < 1μM

– Demonstrate therapeutic value with in vivo proof of concept in animals/cell cultures

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

The development phase evaluates drug effectiveness
• Drugs must overcome numerous challenges
– chemically stable in stomach (pH 1) – not digested by gastrointestinal enzymes – absorbed into the bloodstream
• pass through series of cell membranes

– – – – –

not bind tightly to other substances survive xenobiotic detoxification by liver enzymes avoid excretion by kidneys brain: cross blood-brain barrier (blocks polar substances) intracellular receptor: pass through cell membrane

Less innovative than you think

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

The Hatch-Waxman Act (1984)
• Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act • Open the market to generics immediately after patent expiry, but new tactics to protect
– Easier for generics to obtain FDA marketing approval

• Drug Company
– 30-month stay against generic manufactures that challenge their patents. – Additional period (< 5 yrs) of marketing exclusivity in addition to 20 year patent exclusivity – Easy patents for drug variants
• keep generics off the market by protecting their drugs with extra patents of poor quality, filing lawsuits to protect the patents even when the lawsuit will be lost, but getting the extra market exclusivity anyway.

The Drug Business
• Drug development has been and still is costly, risky, and lengthy • R&D costs have increased, but the industry remains one of the most profitable • Pharmaceutical innovation is targeted towards protecting interests • The payoffs for improvements in the process are significant

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Agouron Pharmaceuticals
• Designed a non-peptidic hydroxamate inhibitor • Used structure of recombinant human MMPs bound to various inhibitors • Determined key residues, ligand substituents needed for binding

Gelatinase A

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

MMPI in Cancer Therapy
• Design of inhibitors • Matrix Metallo Proteinase Inhibitors (MMPI) are a class of cancer therapeutics
– MMP levels are increased in areas surrounding tumor – Degrade extracellular matrix proteins and can lead to spread of cancer – Inhibitors
• can prevent metastasis • may also play role in blocking tumor growth

MMP catalysis
“metallo” in MMP = zinc

→ catalytic domain contains 2 zinc atoms

Whittaker et al. Chem. Rev. 1999, 99, 2735-2776
Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Peptidic hydroxamate inhibitors
• Specificity for MMPs over other MPs • Better binding • But poor oral bioavailability

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Finding drug leads
• If we have a target, how do we find some compounds that might bind to it? • Classic: exhaustive screening • Modern: computational screening!

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Combinatorial Chemistry
• Parallel synthetic approach
– Build on previous products – Generate diversity by adding R groups – Recover most active compounds

• Solid phase synthesis
– Wash away excess reagants & other products – Can recover the main product

• Parallel testing

Structure-Based Docking Methods

• Need 3D structure • Scan a virtual library of small molecules and “dock” them to a site of interest on a protein structure • Predict binding energy • Filters thousands of compounds relatively quickly • Top hits can be used for more rigorous computational/experimental characterization and optimization
Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Importance of Structural Bioinformatics
• Provides a framework for understanding general macromolecular features
– Automatic identification of binding pockets. – Measurement size of surface binding pockets.

• Speeds up key steps in drug discovery
– Understand molecular basis for disease – Determine potential interactors – Identify potential targets which bind small molecules.

“If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science and not an art” Sir William Osler, 1892

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Major sources of variation
• Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)
– Single base change in DNA

AAGCCTA AAGCTTA
– Average frequency 1/1000bp – SNPs arise as a consequence of mistakes during normal DNA replication

• Genomic rearrangements
– Duplications, insertions, deletions
Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Genetics as the basis for variability in drug response
• Pharmacogenetics
– The effect of genetic variation on drug response.

• Pharmacogenomics
– The application of genomics to the study of human variability in drug response. • Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are expected to play an important role in the development of better medicines for populations and targeted therapies with improved benefit/risk ratios for individuals

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Personalized Medicine
The ability to offer • The Right Drug • To The Right Patient • For The Right Disease • At The Right Time • With The Right Dosage Genetic and metabolic data will allow drugs to be tailored to patient subgroups

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Benefits of Personalized Medicine
• Better matching patients to drugs instead of “trial and error • Customized pharmaceuticals may eliminate life-threatening adverse reactions • Reduce costs of clinical trials by
– Quickly identifying total failures – Favourable responses for particular backgrounds

• Improved efficacy of drugs

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Personalized Medicine : BiDil
• Combination pill containing two medications for heart failure, cardiovascular disease, and/or diabetes. • Clinical trials did not show overall benefit across entire population. • Subgroup of African-descent patients showed benefit
– BiDil approved for use in African-descent patients.

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are essential to assess the drug efficacy.
• Pharmacokinetics – What the body does to the drug
– dose, dosage regimen, delivery form – Drug fate: Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs (ADME)

• Pharmacodynamics – What the drug does to the body
– Biochemical and physiological effects of drugs – mechanism of drug action – relationship between drug concentration and effect

Codeine Metabolism
• 5-10% codeine is metabolized into morphine by CYP2D6
– 7% of caucasians have a nonfunctional CYP2D6 variant – <2% are CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers which may suffer from opioid intoxication





80% codeine normally converted to glucuronide, eliminated by kidney. inhibition of CYP3A4 or rapid metabolic variants of CYP2D6 during renal failure would show toxicity

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Is pharmacogenetics in routine use? NO
• Science still early. Limited data in public domain. • Fragmentation of drug markets is not attractive to drug companies. • Many variations not clinically significant • Expensive to test for genotype • Significantly more challenging to track drug drug interactions

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

CYP3A4
• Abundant in liver and intestines and accounts for nearly 50% of CYP450 enzymes. Activity can vary markedly among members of a population
– Constitutive variability is ~5-fold but can increase to 400-fold through induction and inhibition





Activity affected by other drugs:
– St Johns wort is an inducer, grapefruit juice is an inhibitor – Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker (calcium antagonist), a drug used to control hypertension (high blood pressure)

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)
• find consistent relationship between biological activity and molecular properties, so that these “rules” can be used to evaluate the activity of new compounds. • extract features (hydrophobicity, pK, van der Waals radii, hydrogen bonding energy, conformation) • build mathematical relationship f(activity|features) • automatically assesses the contribution of each feature • can be used to make predictions on a new molecule

Genomic Medicine: Predictive, personalized, and pre-emptive

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Things to Consider
• Does my doctor know enough about genomic medicine to be advising me?
– Are there genetic counselors available?

• Will the test only be for this condition?
– What if I am susceptible to another disease?

• Who will know about this?
– Doctors… insurance companies?

• How exactly will the results be kept secure and in confidence?
Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

Dumontier::BIOL4301:Towards Personalized Medicine:Nov 25, 2008

How much will this cost?
• More drugs may succeed in clinical trials due to positive outcome for smaller subset
– Will pharma attempt to recoup costs with a pricier drug?

• Will public health cover the costs of genetic testing?
– Reduce overall health cost due to fewer ADRs – Should we determine clinically validated genes or should we sequence the genome?

• How will my insurance premiums be affected?
