Over the last two decades, traditional small molecules and antibody drugs have provided tremendous benefits to cancer patients. Due to the complexity of the disease, incomplete response and drug resistance ultimately emerge. New modalities beyond traditional small molecules and antibodies can provide unprecedented opportunities for drugs previously deemed “undruggable” targets. As an example, KRASG12C covalent inhibitors have shown promise for the treatment of Non-small cell lung cancer with KRASG12C mutations. Other KRAS mutants which cannot be inhibited by covalent inhibitors remain “undruggable”. In this webinar, we will discuss the opportunity of new modalities like oligonucleotides and TCR-engineered T cell therapy for treating KRAS mutant cancers, as well as various modality toolboxes to support drug discovery programs.     Key Learning Objectives: Review and highlight the use of various drug modalities in oncology  Dive into specific examples of different modalities for a particular target and learn key takeaways  Who Should Attend: Scientists (biologist, oncologist, chemist, etc.)  Program leaders and strategists  Project managers  Medical doctors  Individuals interested in understanding how a new modalities could expand therapies  Brought to you by: Werngard Czechtizky Executive Director Head Medicinal Chemistry, Chair of AZ Global Chemistry Leadership, Astrazeneca Luping Lin Director Biology, WuXi AppTec Jiafeng Rui Associate Director, Biology, WuXi AppTec Melissa O'Meara Forensic Science Consultant, C&EN Media Group

How chemists interact with and ultimately use the elements on the periodic table is one of the primary sustainability challenges for the 21st century. Applications ranging from alternative energy to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and every day products should rely on terrestrially abundant elements such as iron rather than rare ones that have a large environmental footprint associated with mining and purification.   Join Paul Chirik, Edward S. Sanford Professor at Princeton University and Editor-in-Chief of Organometallics as he explores the new chemistry enabled by catalysis with Earth abundant transition metals. Dr. Chirik and his research group strive to discover highly effective catalysts with applications in the pharmaceutical, flavor and fragrance, silicones, energy and polymer science industries and often engage with industrial collaborators. They seek to uncover the unique pathways that enable these transformations, many of which are distinct from precious metals and rely on the unique electronic structures of the first row transition metals. Register now to discover the distinct chemistry enabled by iron and cobalt catalysts and the design principles that were used in catalyst discovery. Learn about real-life applications and broad challenges that confront the field such as air-stable, easily handled precursors, functional group tolerance, ligand design and understanding reaction mechanism.   This ACS Webinar is moderated by Director of Sustainable Development Adelina Voutchkova-Kostal of ACS and is co-produced with the ACS Office of Sustainable Development and Organometallics.

Hydrogen (H2) is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe. Since, it only occurs naturally on Earth when combined with other elements it must be produced from other sources. It can be produced without a carbon footprint from variety of sources, including natural gas, coal, biomass, waste materials, or by splitting water molecules. Hydrogen fuel consumption is not currently widespread, but there has been a growing interest in its use as a potential energy source across the economy. As hydrogen is increasingly adopted, strict requirements have been imposed to limit pollution from any impurities in the gas. Specifications for the purity of hydrogen used in other applications are also becoming more stringent. Hydrogen is used in the manufacturing and processing of large-scale integrated circuits (ICs), smelting and processing of high-purity metals, development and production of liquid hydrogen and its derivative products. In this presentation we will discuss Agilent’s current gas chromatography solutions to analyzing trace level impurities in hydrogen.    In this webinar we will discuss the gas chromatography and how it is used to analyze trace impurities in hydrogen gas. We will review what impurities are important to hydrogen analysis and we will discuss the different techniques used to accomplish these analyses. We will cover basic chromatography concepts along with specialized detectors such as PDHID, FID, TCD, MSD, SCD, and NCD.    Key Learning Objectives: Learn why hydrogen analysis is important.  Learn which impurities are important in hydrogen analysis.  Learn techniques necessary to analyze these impurities.

Selection of the correct molecule and an understanding of its behavior in-vivo and any potential risks to progression are critical in the development of new medicines. Frequently pharmaceutical scientists are asked to make more decisions earlier in the development process and with less material.    Historically, the measurement of dissolution rate to assess the properties of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) has been performed at later stages of development for quality control purposes rather than to select molecules or determine possible performance risks. This approach typically uses large amounts of material and does not provide a fundamental or mechanistic understanding on the behavior of the material or highlight its potential failure modes, and in many cases provide little correlation to changes that could potentially occur in vivo.    GSK will discuss how it uses a suite of tools, including Pion’s range of fiber optic dissolution and UV imaging techniques, to aid the characterization of API’s to improve molecule selection and help identify differences due to changes in various physChem properties.    Key Learning Objectives: Solubility and dissolution assessment and characterization at different phases of pharmaceutical development. Novel dissolution methodologies to support molecule and formulation approaches for new chemical entities. Determination of risk analysis for changing product performance due to the presence of different polymorphic forms, versions or non-robust formulations. Learn from case studies using UV dissolution data to select, characterize or troubleshoot real molecules currently in research and development, and how this data correlated or supported more traditional pharmaceutical analysis tests such as USP II dissolution.  Who Should Attend: Pharmaceutical analysts, laboratory technicians and formulation scientists (Industrial Pharmacists), anyone interested in the use of novel dissolution tools to help support molecule and drug product development.

Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) is a method used for finding hit compounds as one strategy of hit identification in the drug discovery process. Fragments are small molecules with a low molecular weight, smaller than lead molecules or druglike molecules. The FBDD technology is based on identifying small chemical fragments, which bind to the biological target and which are then optimized into leadlike and druglike molecules. In contrast to high throughput screening (HTS) where libraries of millions of compounds with molecular weights of around 500 Da are tested and nanomolar binding affinities are found, fragments come from much smaller libraries and show weaker binding affinities. They still make good starting points for drug discovery.    In contrast to hit identification by HTS the conditions for FBDD are different. A smaller fragment library, fragment hits with weaker affinities, the need for guidance by structure information and the use of compound metrics in the optimization are central elements of FBDD. The webinar will give insight into this technology and will show how FBDD can be successfully applied for the identification of novel and potent lead compounds   Key Learning Objectives: Basics of how the FBDD works  How FBDD can be successfully applied Well established assays for FBDD  Who Should Attend: Senior project managers of drug discovery/R&D  Senior directors of drug discovery/R&D  Senior scientists of drug discovery/R&D, including senior medicinal chemist, senior biology/protein science scientist, etc. Drug discovery researchers (Professors/PIs from academy)  Brought to you by: Speakers: Moran Jerabek-Willemsen, PhD Head of Biophysics & Screening, WuXi AppTec HitS Andreas Schoop, PhD Head of Medicinal Chemistry, WuXi AppTec HitS Jeff Huber Contributing Editor, C&EN Media Group
