Polypharmacological profiling across protein target families and cellular pathways using the multiplexed cell-based assay platform safetyProfiler reveals efficacy, potency and side effects of drugs. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
For example, the neuroleptics clozapine, paliperidone, and risperidone potently inhibited primary targets DRD2 and HTR2A as well as cAMP and calcium pathways...Additionally, precise potency data for LY2452473, an androgen receptor antagonist, that completed a phase 2 clinical trial for prostate cancer, are presented. The non-selective kinase inhibitor staurosporine was observed to potently inactivate the two RTKs EGFR and ERBB4 as well as MAPK signaling, while eliciting stress-related cAMP responses. Our findings underscore the value of comprehensive profiling in elucidating the pharmacological properties of established and novel therapeutics, thereby facilitating the development of novel multi-target drugs with enhanced efficacy and selectivity.
