  • Three Pillars of Early Drug Discovery Success Part 3: Assayability: A Practical Framework for Target Validation and Hit Identification

    The first two papers in this three-part series established the foundational framework of early drug discovery: druggability, ligandability, and assayability, and explored why assayability is often the most consequential and underappreciated determinant of program success. This third (and final) white paper translates that strategic framework into practice. Here we address the central operational question: How…

  • Three Pillars of Early Drug Discovery Success Part 2: Assayability – The Hidden Determinant of Drug Discovery Success

    Drug discovery is an exercise in measurement. Every decision made during target validation, hit identification, and lead optimization depends on data generated by assays. Yet assay quality (beyond Z-factors and assay windows) remains one of the most underappreciated determinants of discovery success. Conversely, assay failure is one of the most underappreciated sources of program attrition.This…

  • Three Pillars of Early Drug Discovery Success: Part 1: Introduction to druggability, ligandability, and assayability

    This white paper introduces a framework for evaluating early drug discovery programs through three interconnected pillars: druggability, ligandability, and assayability. It defines druggability as the likelihood that a target can be modulated by a therapeutic molecule, ligandability as the ability to identify compounds that bind to that target, and assayability as the ability to reliably measure the target’s…

  • Assay development and HTS of PAPD5 inhibitors using an innovative mass spectrometry platform

    Abstract: The Poly Adenosine Polymerase Associated domain 5 and 7 proteins regulate RNA stability by adding adenosine nucleotides to the 3’ end of various RNAs, including telomeric RNA, oncogenic microRNAs (miRNA) and viral RNA such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). Inhibitors of PAPD5 and PAPD7 offer promising therapeutic avenues to combat certain cancers, telomere-biology disorders,…
