Target residence time is emerging as an important optimization parameter in drug discovery, yet target and off-target engagement dynamics have not been clearly linked to the clinical performance of drugs. Here we developed high-throughput binding kinetics assays to characterize the interactions of 270 protein kinase inhibitors with 40 clinically relevant targets. Analysis of the results revealed that on-rates are better correlated with affinity than off-rates and that the fraction of slowly dissociating drug-target complexes increases from early/preclinical to late stage and FDA-approved compounds, suggesting distinct contributions by each parameter to clinical success. Combining binding parameters with PK/ADME properties, we illustrate in silico and in cells how kinetic selectivity could be exploited as an optimization strategy. Furthermore, using bio- and chemoinformatics we uncovered structural features influencing rate constants. Our results underscore the value of binding kinetics information in rational drug design and provide a resource for future studies on this subject.

Unlabelled: The tonsils have been identified as a site of replication for Epstein-Barr virus, adenovirus, human papillomavirus, and other respiratory viruses. Human tonsil epithelial cells (HTECs) are a heterogeneous group of actively differentiating cells. Here, we investigated the cellular features and susceptibility of differentiated HTECs to specific influenza viruses, including expression of avian-type and mammalian-type sialic acid (SA) receptors, viral replication dynamics, and the associated cytokine secretion profiles.

Carbapenemase OXA-48 and its variants pose a serious threat to the development of effective treatments for bacterial infections. OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales are the most prevalent carbapenemase-producing bacteria in large parts of the world. Although these bacteria exhibit low-level carbapenem resistance , the infections they cause are challenging to treat with conventional therapies, owing to their spread and complex detection in clinical settings.

The stable operation of high-capacity lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) has been hampered by slow conversion kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and instability of the lithium metal anodes. Herein, 6-(dibutylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-thiol (DTD) is introduced as a functional additive for accelerating the kinetics of cathodic conversion and modulating the anode interface. We proposed that a coordination interaction mechanism drives the polysulfide conversion and modulates the Li solvated structure during the binding of the N-active site of DTD to LiPSs and lithium salts.

The optimized composition and precisely tailored structure configuration play critical roles in enhancing the catalytic reaction kinetics. Here we report a distinctive core@satellite strategy for designing the advanced platinum-nickel@platinum-nickel-copper-cobalt-indium high-entropy alloy nanowires (PtNi@HEA NWs) as efficient bifunctional catalysts in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Impressively, the PtNi@HEA NWs/C shows 19.
