Optimizing Excipient Properties to Prevent Aggregation in Biopharmaceutical Formulations (2023)
Journal Article
King, T. E., Humphrey, J. R., Laughton, C. A., Thomas, N. R., & Hirst, J. D. (2024). Optimizing Excipient Properties to Prevent Aggregation in Biopharmaceutical Formulations. Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 64(1), 265–275. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.3c01898

Excipients are included within protein biotherapeutic solution formulations to improve colloidal and conformational stability but are generally not designed for the specific purpose of preventing aggregation and improving cryoprotection in solution....

Design, Synthesis, and Application of Fluorescent Ligands Targeting the Intracellular Allosteric Binding Site of the CXC Chemokine Receptor 2 (2023)
Journal Article
Casella, B. M., Farmer, J. P., Nesheva, D. N., Williams, H. E., Charlton, S. J., Holliday, N. D., …Mistry, S. N. (2023). Design, Synthesis, and Application of Fluorescent Ligands Targeting the Intracellular Allosteric Binding Site of the CXC Chemokine Receptor 2. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c00849

The inhibition of CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), a key inflammatory mediator, is a potential strategy in the treatment of several pulmonary diseases and cancers. The complexity of endogenous chemokine interaction with the orthosteric binding site...

In Silico Screening for Solid Dispersions: The Trouble with Solubility Parameters and χFH (2018)
Journal Article
Turpin, E. R., Taresco, V., Al-Hachami, W. A., Booth, J., Treacher, K., Tomasi, S., …Garnett, M. C. (2018). In Silico Screening for Solid Dispersions: The Trouble with Solubility Parameters and χFH. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 15(10), 4654-4667. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.8b00637

© Copyright 2018 American Chemical Society. The problem of predicting small molecule-polymer compatibility is relevant to many areas of chemistry and pharmaceutical science but particularly drug delivery. Computational methods based on Hildebrand and... Read More about In Silico Screening for Solid Dispersions: The Trouble with Solubility Parameters and χFH.

Development of a series of bis-triazoles as G-quadruplex ligands (2017)
Journal Article
Saleh, M., Laughton, C. A., Bradshaw, T. D., & Moody, C. J. (in press). Development of a series of bis-triazoles as G-quadruplex ligands. RSC Advances, 7, https://doi.org/10.1039/c7ra07257k

Maintenance of telomeres – specialized complexes that protect the ends of chromosomes – is provided by the enzyme complex telomerase, which is a key factor that is activated in more than 80% of cancer cells, but absent in most normal cells. Targeting... Read More about Development of a series of bis-triazoles as G-quadruplex ligands.

Functional interplay of DnaE polymerase, DnaG primase and DnaC helicase within a ternary complex, and primase to polymerase hand-off during lagging strand DNA replication in Bacillus subtilis (2013)
Journal Article
Rannou, O., Le Chatelier, E., Larson, M. A., Nouri, H., Dalmais, B., Laughton, C., …Soultanas, P. (2013). Functional interplay of DnaE polymerase, DnaG primase and DnaC helicase within a ternary complex, and primase to polymerase hand-off during lagging strand DNA replication in Bacillus subtilis. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(10), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt207

Bacillus subtilis has two replicative DNA polymerases. PolC is a processive high-fidelity replicative polymerase, while the error-prone DnaEBs extends RNA primers before hand-off to PolC at the lagging strand. We show that DnaEBs interacts with t...
