Spebrutinib is a new Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Avila Therapeutics and Celgene. Spebrutinib (SPB) is currently in phase Ib clinical trials for the treatment of lymphoma in the United States. Preliminary studies were first performed to predict susceptible sites of metabolism, reactivity pathways and structural alerts for toxicities by StarDrop WhichP450™ module, Xenosite web predictor tool and DEREK software; respectively.

Quinazolines are nitrogen-containing heterocycles that consist of a benzene ring fused with a pyrimidine ring. Quinazolinones, oxidized quinazolines, are promising compounds with a wide range of biological activities. In the pharmaceutical field, quinazolinones are the building blocks of more than 150 naturally occurring alkaloids isolated from different plants, microorganisms, and animals.

Article Synopsis
  • - The lack of collaboration between academia and the pharmaceutical industry limits new drug discovery, but open source drug initiatives, like sharing physical compounds, could help bridge this gap and accelerate research.
  • - The Medicines for Malaria Venture created the Malaria Box, a collection of over 400 compounds tested against malaria, which has been shared with almost 200 research groups, encouraging public data sharing on screening results.
  • - Recent findings from the Malaria Box screenings revealed mechanisms of action for many compounds against various life stages of the malaria parasite, and some showed effectiveness against other pathogens and cancer cell lines, providing valuable data for further drug development.
