#2 Drug Discovery Re-Invented Conference 2015

Report

The second Drug Discovery Re-Invented Meeting focused on both the science and structure of drug discovery today with an emphasis on how it is being accomplished outside the traditional large pharmaceutical company model. The meeting brought together experts in medicinal chemistry, structure based drug design, computational chemistry, novel technology platforms, and natural products discovery.

The meeting was chaired by Charles Reynolds (President, Gfree Bio LLC), William Kinney (Director, Natural Products Discovery Institute, IteraMed Consulting LLC), Patrick Lam (Drexel University College of Medicine, Former BMS Chemistry Director), and Lutz Mueller-Kuhrt (CEO, AnalytiCon Discovery).

Day 1 was kicked off with the Keynote Address, delivered by Harren Jhoti (Astex Pharmacueticals) “FRAGMENT-BASED DRUG DISCOVERY: A FIFTEEN YEAR (RE-)EVOLUTION.” Plenary speakers included John Beutler (National Cancer Institute-NIH), Sir Tom Blundel (University of Cambridge), Andrew Combs (Incyte Pharmaceuticals), Gerhard Klebe (Universität Marburg), and Martin Stahl (Roche Innovation Center). Our first session in “New Approaches in Pharma” was concluded with George Trainor (BioMotiv) and Trevor Howe (External Innovation Johnson & Johnson).

Day 2, The AM session on “Natural Products” included presentations by David Mead (Lucigen), Lars Haustedt (AnalytiCon Discovery), Andreas Vilcinkas (Univeristy of Gießen), Thomas Högberg (Leo Pharma), Vicky Steadman (Selcia). The power of metagenomics and novel culturing methods to pull out new structural diversity from “unculturable microorganisms” gives hope for a new generation of natural products discovery. However, hypothesis driven natural product discovery continues to bear fruit by searching for microbes that give their host a competitive advantage in the environment. The PM session on “Government and Non-profit Sector” featured Christopher Cooper (TB Alliance), James Duffy (Medicines for Malaria), Craig Thomas (NCATS, NIH), Joseph Salvino (Drexel University College of Medicine), Barbara Holtz (Collaborative Drug Discovery), and Ed Champness (Optibrium). Then Chuck Reynolds led a lively round table discussion on the state of drug discovery today and included thoughts from Martin Stahl, George Trainor, Vicky Steadman, and Trevor Howe. Much of the innovation in drug discovery is taking place outside of Big Pharma with displaced experienced pharmaceutically trained scientists who are finding creative ways to finance and execute their drug discovery strategies. Discussion included concern for where the scientists will be trained since Pharma is no longer hiring. Much of the experience now resides in Biotechs and CROs and it will be up to them to train the next generation.

On Day 3, the “Structure, Modeling, and Fragment-Based Design” session speakers were Gregory Warren (OpenEye Scientific Software), Heather Carlson (University of Michigan), Chris Murray (Astex Pharmaceuticals), and Martin Slater (Cresset). This session was followed by a group trip to Windsor Castle in which we rode a traditional London double decker bus. We were expertly led by a knowledgeable tour guide who had interesting stories about the queen, dead kings, and the castle, including hangings and dungeons. The day was concluded with our first “Non-Traditional Targets and Approaches” session with lectures by Siew Ho (Drexel College of Medicine), Troy Messick (Vironika, LLC), and Jan Hoflack (Oncodesign SA). Oncodesign was able to obtain exquisite selectivity and drug likeness with their macrocyclic kinase inhibitors, which has led to multiple partnerships and significant growth. A thorough analysis of the state of the art in nucleic acid molecules was presented with a focus on both research and therapeutics. An example of an academic collaboration with a strong Pharma trained medicinal group has led to substantial funding from the Welcome Trust for support of development of small molecule inhibitors of Epstein Barr Virus-associated disease.

Day 4, “Non-Traditional Targets and Approaches” continued with presentations by Luc Van Hijfte (NovAlix), James Bashkin (U. Missouri - St. Louis, NanoVir), Jin Li (HitGen), Kevin Cox (Imanova), and Bill Kinney (KannaLife Sciences). A novel screening platform using mass spec, natural product based DNA binders, a vast macrocyclic library of more than a billion compounds, repurposing of a large pharma imaging capability, and improved cannabinoid like molecules as neuroprotectants were all covered in this final session.

The meeting was extremely interactive with enthusiastic question and answer sessions following each talk (so much so it was hard to stay on time). The panel discussion on the second day was particularly lively. This meeting remains unique with respect to the breadth of participants and focus on new approaches to discovering drugs.

Synopsis

The second Drug Discovery Re-Invented Fusion series will center on new approaches to drug discovery in an industry where the landscape is changing rapidly. With large pharma reducing investment in internal early stage research, drug pipelines will increasingly be filled by alternative sources. These players include: government, academic labs, non-profits, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical “open innovation” models. The conference will also provide examples of successful strategies for advancing new drug candidates in this era of distributed discovery.

The History of Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. As a royal residence, the castle is guarded by the Queen's regiments of Foot Guards in their splendid full-dress uniform of red tunics and bearskins. The castle's Round Tower stands where in the 1080's William the Conqueror sited his wooden fort, one day's march from the Tower of London. In the late 1600s Charles II built the State Apartments for entertaining; Samuel Pepys, the seventeenth-century diarist, called Windsor 'the most romantic castle in the world'. The castle we see today was finally completed by George IV in the 1820s.

The History of the London Routemaster Bus

RM548 worked the Capital’s streets for 45 years making her one of London’s longest serving Routemasters. She entered service in December 1960 at Hanwell garage in West London serving routes 207 and 255. She too paid regular visits to Aldenham, where we know her first overhaul was carried out in 1964 with subsequent visits taking place in 1971, 1974, 1976, 1980 and 1985. In between these repairs she worked from Hackney, Upton Park, South Croydon, Poplar, Edmonton, Norwood and Brixton garages.

In 1994 RM548 was withdrawn and sold into private hands where she was used as a promotional vehicle for Yellow Pages and Marie Curie Cancer Care, but due to a shortage of Routemasters in London she was purchased back by London Transport and in 2002 was part of the Routemaster modernisation programme where she was sent to Marshalls of Cambridge for a complete re-build. Her AEC engine was replaced with a more modern Cummings unit and nearly all her traditional 1960s interior and styling was replaced with modern fixtures.

After modernisation, RM548 re-entered service in South London at Battersea and Brixton garages; it was here on the 9th December 2005 that she was one of the last Routemasters to operate on route 159 in front of the world's media on the final day of general Routemaster operations in London.

Finally, in 2006 some 46 years after first entering service, RM548 was retired and sold for preservation. In 2013 RM548 was also lovingly restored back to 1960s livery with original red moquette seats, period advertising and yellow ceiling.
