The interaction between grapefruit juice and certain medications in class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, has to do with drug metabolism.
Enzymes can both activate drugs, by breaking them down into their therapeutic ingredients from more complex molecules, and deactivate them, by breaking harmful compounds down into harmless metabolites.
That means the drugs this enzyme is responsible for breaking down get metabolized faster— sometimes too fast, before they can have their therapeutic effects.
In spite of the dizzying number of possible interactions, most of the dangerous interactions with commonly used drugs are well known.
For the new drugs that are being developed all the time, supercomputers are being used to find potential interactions while those drugs are still in development.
There are only a few constrained peptide drugs available today, but there are a lot that will hit the market in the coming decade.
Drugs that are made of protein are called biologic drugs.
So this includes constrained peptides, as well as medicines like insulin or antibody drugs like Humira or Enbrel.
And in general, biologics are great, because they avoid several ways that drugs can cause side effects.
And second, sometimes drugs interact with molecules in your body that you don't want them to.
Compared to small molecule drugs, and by this I mean regular drugs, like aspirin, biologics are quite large.
They're really durable, like regular drugs.
They combine some of the best features of small-molecule and biologic drugs into one.
But unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult to reengineer the constrained peptides that we find in nature to become new drugs.
Some of these new drugs have been tested in preclinical trials with laboratory animals.
But during that time, more constrained peptide drugs are going to be entering the drug development pipeline.
And ultimately, I believe that designed peptide drugs are going to enable us all to break free from the constraints of our diseases.
Some pharmaceutical companies now have teams that are dedicated to designing enzymes to make drugs more efficiently and with fewer toxic catalysts.
The number of drugs made with enzymes is sure to grow in the future.
Because there are more drugs to treat common diseases than there are to treat rare diseases.
So the incentives are much larger to produce drugs which treat more people.
Now think about the following: if China and India were as rich as the United States is today, the market for cancer drugs would be eight times larger than it is now.
How do you get the vaccines moved around the world and the drugs moved, and whatever may or not be available that would work.
End result: only 15 states have been certified to be able to do mass distribution of vaccine and drugs in a pandemic.
It took time and trial and error to find treatments that did more good than harm, but by the end of World War II, they discovered what became known as the first chemotherapy drugs.
Chemotherapy drugs are delivered through pills and injections and use "cytotoxic agents," which means compounds that are toxic to living cells.
Take, for example, those first chemotherapy drugs, which are still used today and are called alkylating agents.
These are just two examples of the six classes of chemotherapy drugs we use to treat cancer today.
Similar to cancer cells, the rapid production of these normal cells means that they’re reaching for resources more frequently— and are therefore more exposed to the effects of chemo drugs.
For hair loss, devices called cold caps can help lower the temperature around the head and constrict blood vessels, limiting the amount of chemotherapy drugs that reach hair follicles.
