Understanding the Hepatotoxicity of Fasiglifam (TAK-875)

Posted by Evotec on Feb 15, 2021 1:14:31 PM

Fasiglifam (TAK-875) is a GPR40 agonist which was developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, during Phase III clinical trials, it was withdrawn due to adverse liver effects.

In this poster, we focus on:

  • deciphering the mechanism of hepatotoxicity of fasiglifam (TAK-875)
  • understanding the impact of plasma protein binding and mitochondrial effects by fasiglifam using the Seahorse flux analyser platform

PKPD Models for Antibiotic Efficacy

Posted by Evotec on Feb 15, 2021 10:35:36 AM

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling plays an important role in drug development, especially in the case of antibiotics where the data generated is used for dose prediction up to Phase 2 clinical trials. This enables efficient study designs and identification of optimal dosing regimens that may suppress drug resistance.  

In this poster, we focus on:

  • mathematical modelling of in vivo and in vitro data to generate a rational design with reduced animal requirements in order to determine the pharmacodynamic driver and magnitude of antibiotic efficacy
  • optimisation of the clinical dose regimen in Phase 2 clinical trials

Detecting Vanoxerine Arrhythmia in Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Posted by Evotec on Feb 12, 2021 4:00:23 PM

Vanoxerine is a multi-ion channel blocker. For this reason, it was developed as a therapy for atrial fibrillation. However, in Phase III trials, 11.5% of patients developed torsades de pointes. Using MEA and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, it was possible to detect this cardiotoxic liability. 

In this poster, we focus on:

  • the use of MEA and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to detect vanoxerine arrhythmias
  • the time dependent effect of vanoxerine cardiotoxicity
  • the ADME properties of vanoxerine which may impact on its cardiotoxic effect

Ultrafast LC-MS for HT-ADME Analysis in Drug Discovery

Posted by Evotec on Feb 12, 2021 3:57:17 PM

Reducing the sample cycle time for LC-MS analysis is critical in increasing throughput and improving efficiency.

In this poster, we focus on:

  • the development of a ultra-fast chromatography method with rapid cycle time
  • the analysis of the sensitivity, linearity, reproducibility, robustness and matrix effects for the method
  • applicability to intrinsic clearance determination

Unravelling the Mechanism of TAK875 DILI

Posted by Evotec on Feb 12, 2021 3:54:17 PM

TAK-875 (fasiglifam) is a GPR40 agonist which was developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, TAK-875 was withdrawn from phase III clinical trials due to drug-induced liver injury (DILI).

In this poster, we focus on:

  • investigating the mechanism behind the hepatotoxicity of TAK-875
  • an in-depth understanding of the effect of TAK-875 on mitochondrial toxicity 
  • understanding the impact of plasma protein binding
