CAMP4’s funding influx paves the way for tapping regulatory RNA to treat urea cycle disorders

Pharmaceutical Technology

In preparation for this, drug manufacturing will begin later this year and will be outsourced to external contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs). However, in patients with urea cycle disorders, genetic defects result in inadequate amounts of the enzymes needed to convert nitrogen into urea.

Data dive finds cheap diuretic could be Alzheimer’s drug

pharmaphorum

A data-mining study conducted by researchers in the US has found that an already-approved diuretic drug could have potential as a treatment for some patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The results are strong enough to back a proof-of-concept study in people with genetic risk of Alzheimer’s according to the researchers.

AI tool may help doctors select best drugs for COVID patients

pharmaphorum

Researchers in the US have developed an artificial intelligence-based tool that is able to predict COVID-19 symptoms and suggest which FDA-approved drugs might be used to treat patients. It could also be made more powerful by incorporating personal genetic information and gene expression profiles in tissues such as the lungs, they suggest.
