Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation of oceanic methane hydrate as a cause of the carbon isotope excursion at the end of the Paleocene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that bottom water temperature increased by more than 4°C during a brief time interval (<104 years) of the latest Paleocene (∼55.6 Ma) and there also was a coeval −2 to −3‰ excursion in the δ13C of the ocean/atmosphere inorganic carbon reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of the attrition of drug candidates from four major pharmaceutical companies
Michael J. Waring,John Arrowsmith,Andrew R. Leach,Paul D. Leeson,Sam Mandrell,Robert M. Owen,Garry Pairaudeau,William Pennie,Stephen D. Pickett,Jibo Wang,Owen B. Wallace,Alex Weir +11 more
TL;DR: The compilation and analysis of combined data on the attrition of drug candidates from AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Company, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer reaffirms that control of physicochemical properties during compound optimization is beneficial in identifying compounds of candidate drug quality and indicates for the first time a link between the physic biochemical properties of compounds and clinical failure due to safety issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Tumor Cell Targeting Using Low-Affinity, Multivalent Interactions
TL;DR: The goal was to devise a strategy to mediate selective killing of tumor cells, which are often distinguished from normal cells by their higher levels of particular cell surface receptors, and to test whether multivalent interactions could lead to highly specific cell targeting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion channels as therapeutic targets: a drug discovery perspective.
Sharan K. Bagal,Alan Daniel Brown,Peter J. Cox,Kiyoyuki Omoto,Robert M. Owen,David C. Pryde,Benjamin Sidders,Sarah Elizabeth Skerratt,Edward B. Stevens,R. Ian Storer,Nigel Alan Swain +10 more
TL;DR: This Perspective seeks to review the ion channel family, its structural and functional features, and the diseases that are known to be modulated by members of the family and explores the structure and properties of known ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rare earth element geochemistry of hydrothermal sediments from the East Pacific Rise: Examination of a seawater scavenging mechanism
Douglas E Ruhlin,Robert M. Owen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the REE composition of the hydrothermal component is primarily acquired via scavenging from seawater, and conclude that the residual energy of the sediment is derived from the interaction of seawater and Fe in the plume.
