Oridonin is a covalent NLRP3 inhibitor with strong anti-inflammasome activity.

TL;DR: Ori can be covalently linked to NLRP3 to prevent assembly of theNLRP3 inflammasome, and to ameliorate inflammation in several mouse disease models, and could serve as a lead for developing new therapeutics against NL RP3-driven diseases.

Emerging and Re-Emerging Warheads for Targeted Covalent Inhibitors: Applications in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology

TL;DR: An overview of warheads-beyond α,β-unsaturated amides-recently used in the design of targeted covalent ligands is provided, with special emphasis on the discussion of reactivity and of case studies illustrating applications in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Covalent Modifiers: A Chemical Perspective on the Reactivity of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls with Thiols via Hetero-Michael Addition Reactions

TL;DR: This Perspective provides information that will contribute to this understanding, such as kinetics of thiol addition reactions, bioactivities, as well as steric and electronic factors that influence the electrophilicity and reversibility of Michael acceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redox Signaling by Reactive Electrophiles and Oxidants

TL;DR: This Review reflects on five aspects critical for understanding how nature harnesses these noncanonical post-translational modifications to coordinate distinct cellular activities: specific players and their generation, physicochemical properties, mechanisms of action, methods of interrogation, and functional roles in health and disease.

Can the pharmaceutical industry reduce attrition rates

TL;DR: The pharmaceutical industry faces considerable challenges, both politically and fiscally, and the fiscal pressures that face the industry from the perspective of R&D are dealt with.

A systematic review of the associations between dose regimens and medication compliance

TL;DR: A review of studies that measured compliance using EM confirmed that the prescribed number of doses per day is inversely related to compliance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The T790M mutation in EGFR kinase causes drug resistance by increasing the affinity for ATP

TL;DR: It is concluded that the T790M mutation is a “generic” resistance mutation that will reduce the potency of any ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor and that irreversible inhibitors overcome this resistance simply through covalent binding, not as a result of an alternative binding mode.

Acetaminophen-induced hepatic necrosis. VI. Metabolic disposition of toxic and nontoxic doses of acetaminophen.

TL;DR: The relationship between the metabolic disposition of acetaminophen and the susceptibility of hamsters, mice and rats toacetaminophen-induced liver necrosis has been examined.
