Description

The effectivenes of cancer vaccines in inducing CD8+Tcell responses remains a challenge, resulting in a need for testing more potent adjuvants. In previous clinical trials it has been determined the safetyand immunogenicity of vaccination against melanoma-related antigens employing MART-1,gp100, and tysosinase paptides combined with the TLR-9 agonist PF-3512676 and local GM-CSFin-oil emulsion.Using continuous monitoring of safety and a two-stage design for immunological efficacy, More than 20 immune-response evaluable patients were targetted. Vaccinations were given subcutaneously ondays 1 and 15 per cycle (1 cycle=28 days) for up to 13 cycles. Structure-based virtual screening of molecular compound libraries is a potentially powerful and inexpensive method for the discovery of novel lead compounds for drug development. That said, virtual screening is heavily dependent on detailed understanding of the tertiary or quaternary structure of the protein target of interest, including knowledge of the relevant binding pocket. Here, in Biogenea we have for the first time discovered a Safe and immunogenic pharmacophore activator mimic physicochemical properties of the MART-1 (26-35,27L), gp100 (209-217, 210M), and tyrosinase (368-376, 370D) inadjuvantwith PF-3512676 and GM-CSF as a future anti-cancer agent in metastatic melanoma conditions introducing a novel multi-parametric algorithm drug discovery approach using a Ligand-Based Virtual Screening approach through a Support Vector Machine and Information Fusion attempt.
